Title: [MSAR] Re: radios pagers, SAR

Hello,

I saw your message posted online regarding the subject in this heading.

I thought because this seems to be an area of expertise for you that you may be able to help with a different problem related to telecommunications with the deaf.  I will cut and paste from the email of the person who sent it to me:

"A transition counselor is working with a student on a job placement on a ranch on the Idaho/Nevada border. She is looking for some way for the Deaf student to stay in touch with others while out on the ranch. They usually use walkie talkies because there are no cell towers in the area. Is anyone aware of some kind of text messaging radio/walkie Talkie system set that could be used, or do you have other ideas?"

I am unaware of a way to send text messages outside of telecom infrastructure that supports paging and cellular services.  Any ideas?

Thanks.
