   Amazing just how ignorant you are, Arlen!   
      
   GPS never...   
      
   EVER   
      
   ...transmits!   
      
   Ergo, it is NOT A TRANSCEIVER.   
      
   Next,   
      
   "c. cellular" and "d. cellular data" are ONE TRANSCEIVER.   
      
   "g. mobile hotspot" is not a transceiver. It is a system services that   
   makes USE of the WiFi transceiver; assuming that you're not using it via   
   USB (on an iPhone at least).   
      
   "h. nearby shares" aren't transceivers on your device.
