Evan Koblentz of the MARCH computer group at InfoAge posed the following
interesting question to several of us:
"I was wondering today .... are there any radios from before 1993 ..
specifically radios that are portable/meant to be carried around ... that
sent/received any kind of data other than voice?  Please enlighten me with
specifics."  Obviously there are CW (morse code) devices and maybe some
military stuff but I cannot think of any others.  Any comments?  Obviously a
referance to the introduction of data transfer on cell phones etc.  Evan is
at evan at snarc.net.
