<p>[quote user="edblysard"]</p> <p>Ok,</p> <p>Then substitute a Motorola JT 1250 radio for cell phone...</p> <p>Why would one handheld communication device be more allowable/acceptable than another?</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p> </p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">Neither one of them are acceptable according to that rule cited in the report.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both the radio and the cell phone are tools that impair hearing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, they have to be in use in order to impair hearing, so I assume that it is okay to carry them across a track or walking adjacent to a track if they are not in use.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But phones and radios are tools that impair hearing when in use, so they certainly must not be carried while using them when walking across or adjacent to tracks on which authority or protection has not been provided.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span></p>
