Hi Paul,

	It is my belief that Cinncinnati Microwave was bought out by Cobra, and
that is why Valentine, one of CM's founders, started his own company making the
V1. The flyer the new CM sent out last year at Christmas about their 900mhz
spread spectrum phones also offered what they called the state-of-the-art
answering machine; upon close observation with a magnifying glass it had Cobra
in nice letters across it...go figure. The original CM didn't do phones, Cobra
always has...

HTH,

Shef
