In article , Brian Gaff
scribeth thus They are using a system that works on mobile phone technology, which gives them a combined text display and sat nav so the office knows where they are etc. Yes.. a lot of them don't seem to like too many people knowing where they are for some odd reason ..We know of a plumbing firm who had a problem with their staff doing one too many jobs on the side. So they thought they'd fix that and in due course a tracking system was installed. After a while with bits of silver paper etc stuck by "accident" on the GPS units they were taken out!. Reason?, seems that they had a real job finding good plumbers and rather than have them leave and sod off elsewhere to the competition where they weren't tracked, they came to a point where they accepted that some "on the side" work was a lesser evil than to loose capable staff;!..... -- Tony Sayer |

I'd imagine if there were too many around they'd interfere with one another if they are broadcasting far. Nobody has mentioned the fact that hf interference from these devices has caused some problems in Ireland apparently, interfereing with the hf comms to aircraft. Oh that's all right, they'll just blame terrorists. |
