Digital mode?
Any way to force the phone into digital only through the programming menu?

Nope... now with PST, maaaaybe, set both nam1 and nam2 to the same settings, then change the analog SID/NID things to a value representing disabled on nam2, and just use nam2 as the "active line" till you might need an analog call, then swithc to nam1's line (same numbers)... hmm, this might just work... somebody with more time and a phone they don't mind screwing with fire up PST and try it...
I wish to take full credit for this idea if it comes to fruition. 🙂

Furthe rinvestigation reveals just possibly changing the MPS paging channel might do it too, but you still have to dupe the NAMS or risk losing analog ability (you *might* jsu tneed in someday in an emergency)...

OK, I can disable analog mode completely... lemem see if I can make th edual NAM re-enable htingy....

SCORE! w00t... got it...
just manually fill in (play match the lines) the values form NAM1 into NAM2 and set AMPS initial paging channel to 0000 in nam2... send to phone, reset phone, go into phone status, activ eline, and select the "other" line that isn't checked (should be exact same number)... to test you can turn analog only mode on and watch it not able to call out and/or display no service... 🙂 🙂 🙂

Or, you could just change the AMPS channel in NAM1 everytime you want digital only, which, by the way, is a really crappy and pointless feature. The phone is going to be in a digital serving area if it is avaliable. It's not like it sporatically decides to go Analog unless digital coverage is inoperable or non-existant. Your best bet is to leave the settings as they are.

swapping active lines is easier than menu 0 setup star etc...
As a bonus, doing it my way, the phone does not search for service in the analog band at all (checked with an RF field strength meter good from 400-1800mhz 2 inches from the phone, needle hasn't moved in 5 minutes...)
