5302 with G-1 Handset.

Did the 5302 ever come with a G-1 handset ?

Yes.  The cradle was designed to accomodate both the F1 and the G1.  I believe they made a special G style handset that used the F1 transmitter and HA1 receiver, but in the G style.  I think this is on Paul F's website.

You're correct. It's right here...

I have two 5302s. One is early production, and has an F-1 with a straight rubber cord. The other is late product, and has a full-blown G-1(not the transitional type with F-receiver elements).

WE cobbled up a special piece of mounting hardware for the cord restraint on the G-1 handset.

This is very interesting and now refines my search for the ideal 5302 down to a serious challenge.  At first I would have been happy to have a disguised 302 with a G1 handset.  Now I'm going to want it to have a GF handset.  With a coiled cord, of course.   The idea is to have unsuspecting users think it's just a familiar model 500, when they would really be using a device with all of its technological components from the 302 era.  I'd enjoy using it myself for the same reason.
