If you login to the LDScatalog.com website as your unit, and then go to "unit administration" there is actually a subcategory for form downloads. It has a few, some of which you wouldn't need as they are duplicated in MLS. A lot of what is needed is not there. They are in a completely non-...

Armature Radio? I thought spark-gap was outlawed. :rolleyes: Oh, Amateur Radio. :D[/quote] Darn spell check! Here's a tech idea: Fix it to not "correct" things to the wrong word! What I read on that link there is people phone patching analog Amateur Radio systems to VoIP. Not all that exci...

I don't think there's much that a member would need to tell a missionary that would require getting a hold of them immediately. In fact, we got too many calls to give blessings to members and for other service needs that should have been fulfilled by home teachers. For member referrals or other mis...

As for the auto-patch this is a repeater to phoneline type system. This allows the radio operator to dial an DTMF to access the patch and then dial phone numbers.

Here's a list of 51 ideas off the top of my head in terms of how missionaries could benefit from using a wireless smart phone with PDA functionality, as opposed to a land line phone in their apartment. Of course most of these features would require some special software: Have GPS with a map so the m...

Let's brainstorm the hypothetical feasibility of creating a reasonably portable box or kit that integrates a number of widely varying technologies and tools into a single easily useable, robust networked platform that is ideally suitable for disaster recovery and emergency response communication eff...

Well it's not in the actual Missionary Section on the LUWS, but a Ward Website Admin can easily add a resource calendar that will show up under the Resources section. Hey, that's a pretty cleaver idea. I never thought of using the resource calendar for people/eating resources instead of building / ...

That sounds nifty. How do you communicate this information during an emergency?
