Sometimes a #cigar is just a cigar - but thats an #absoluteunit.

If I've read it correctly they sell 1000 cigars for 100 Mark, so relatively cheap individually for a decent size cigar

Maybe thats why my older versions of Handbuch für Fernmeldehandwerker have a safety warning "never bring a lit Cigar into the battery room" [1] as they would have been affordable even to apprentices.

Cigars are bad for you, try not to smoke them (I quit in 2018, and they were already way expensive here)

[1] lead acid accumulators give off hydrogen gas when charging and there are a *lot* of them in a Telephone Exchange, so such a mistake could easily end up as a last smoke.. 💥 🚒

#AbsoluteUnit of #DECT #telephone set from #Motorola - updated version of BT Elements with rugged case, long antenna and separate (analogue) base unit (not shown in photos as its currently hanging off map pins on my office notice board with confidential stuff on it)

Got 200+ metres range even with base unit quite low down (my office is in a dip) and position not exactly optimised for RF, could make calls from adjacent housing estate - from a distance it does look rather like an #Airwave terminal, resisting temptation to stand at top of road and watch leadfoots slow down 😁

Connected to #Grandstream ATA, also works well in next door office, so I can now move between both and keep same extension number

About £70 with base station, might also be good for #CCC and #EMF type events?
