Just want say thanks for the input & yah now when I go lay it out
the gps, aa battery. 2way radios looks quite at home on top of the aux
battery
behind the driver seat with 3 way cig lighter velcroed in...
and I got a 2 way cig splitter for the lighter up front
for the mp3 & the latop

now where do i stuff my wrt54gs wireless router :)
wonder if i can get my Sierra Wireless AirCardŽ 580  into
the pcmcia slot to provide 1x data coverage
looks like this will cheaper than voice roaming at 25cents per call + LD
I can 60MB data access in us/canada for $30 for a month
Now with my www.asterisk.org pbx happy inside the wrt
routing iax voice calls to my ata attached to the cordless phone
I think i have very low cost wireless voice access accoss the country
