      Bob,               BS> This totally sounds like a prison, me, I would NEVER consider living        BS> under those conditions.

Some       days, it's very difficult to get in and out of my car.               Society is too litigious...they'll sue at the drop of a hat. If they       sued for public flatulence, everyone would be under the jail.               BS> I do know that my DV4Mini transmits with 1.2 milliwatts, and my Icom        BS> ID-31 transmits with less than one watt. That's considerably less than        BS> a typical wi-fi router radiates.               Unfortunately, there is no D-Star Repeater in central Arkansas that is       on the Gateway. The one they have is available to folks with D-Star radios       only. With all the trees around me, I can't even hit a wide area coverage       analog repeater on Shinall Mountain, west of Little Rock.               Plus, with not even getting $1100 a month in disability, I can't afford       to get a D-Star HT, a DV4Mini, a Raspberry Pi, etc. I joke that "I don't       know much about a Raspberry Pi, but a pineapple upside down cheesecake       sounds awfully good".
