Well thats interesting. Thanks to those who posted.
Yep I'm an the Far North Queensland, Australia and our service provider has a Government backed monopoly -Telstra . You don't tell them anything .
I'm in the country on the fringe of reception due to a hill We do have other providers but they just don't have any coverage where I am . Nearest is 12km away. (8miles) Just to get reception
My office is just me so a lot of the above is not relevent thanks . Yes the antenna is the only way I can get calls and I can't be in the office all day . I work from home . When I watch TVor work outside I don't hear the phone.
So thats the problem and something tuned to sound seems like the answer. But what then . A piezo speaker wired somehow , a mike wired as a switch. ?
Its got a vibrator too so maybe I could use that?
Thats my question ,what would you suggest might do the job?
What do all the contacts at the bottom do apart from charge input? Surely there is a speaker out or some form of high line when the phone rings? I can build with IC's and trannys and stuff.
"If you don't have a planet what good are gold bars". Well I reckon it depends where you are standing , if you are on a space ship with a self sustaining Pub , self sustaining Women and self sustaining light snacks I might like to take some with me to remember you with.
