Well, I went to a local store once and made a "RF-Reset" to an Omron
cash register :) by talking at a NMT cellular phone operating around
450 MHz, with about five watts out.. The cash register wrnt totally
mad, printing random numbers, but it did NOT open the cash box.

NMT 900 is _nice_ !! I can take a phone from Finland and go to
Switzerland and the cellular works just fine.
