This post was in my drafts and was written prior to this date.
I installed No Signal Alert Pro and Voice Recorder by First75 on my Android smartphone this evening. While the only place to test this is down trail at this point, I'm feeling confident that the "signal lost" and "signal regained" with me being the voice of the computer will work and give me auditory notifications of such events, especially when I'm looping to, or back on bicycle. Also, I'll be able to turn the smartphone on just before an anticipated area of coverage to make updates to Facebook and family. The new voice recorder app now lets me record in .amr format, which is needed for the computer to pick them up as notification sounds in the directory: mnt\sdcard\sounds and make them available in the No Signal Alert Pro's properties menu.
There's been problems trying to get this to work right. So far, I tested those sounds and everything seems to work as it should. Also, the signal lost sound with also be simultaneous with the "red alert" klaxon that I have as a part of my ST: Red Alert, or Star Trek wallpaper. This and the app are necessary to facilitate my custom signal alerts.
I went shopping at Century Cycles in Peninsula of Summit County today. That's where I dropped off the 30 year old refurbished road bike that I recently purchased to get a new rear rack and grip tape installed. I managed to purchase a new 750 lumen head lamp with an internal and rechargeable Lithium ion battery. At 750, I'm at a loss for words. I'm not sure that I can properly comprehend how much light that is? The best thing that I have is only about a 140 lumen hand flash light and I think that thing impressive. To use a religious metaphor, a 750 might open a gateway to God.
