Outside a 15 mile or so radius, however, nobody here seems to be sending the originating number. Even with the base reversed, the LCD has an annoyingly narrow viewing angle. Nevertheless the folks think that in some ways, it's even better than having an answering machine. A few questions, then. One call so far has been misidentified; one digit was changed but not completely garbled. Is there no ECC sent along? And...anybody interested in trying this thing out long distance?
