I'm stuck in suburbia with a dipole hung on a pair of flag poles along the boundary much to the neighbours disgust in Ballarat, so about an hour out of Melbourne. I'm a senior system administrator, and I deal with mainly hardware (all sitting in DCs) and *nix based systems... though my postgrad was all in cybersec. Will give your smart home video a watch when I get a chance. Straight off the bat from clicking, I see you're doing all the smart things - dedicated VLANs and such, so it's already speaking my language. I'll give the DMR video a watch when I get time too. I fiddled with it briefly when I started out but mostly ignored V/UHF as soon as I started getting somewhere with HF. WARS - I know who they are.. at least thanks to the powerpole kits :) 73s Dave --- þ Synchronet þ BOFHNet BBS .
