Oh John, you're giving me a headache. ;( Much as I'd like to play the guinea pig for such a laudable project, my need is fairly immediate, and my time is limited. While the cost of the Unwired kit is a little hard to swallow, it looks as though I could have it in hand w/i a few days of ordering and absent major problems with my acc system, which weren't apparent the last time I touched it with the MityVac, installation looks to be maybe less than half a day, even first time. So, regrettably, it looks as though I'll have to pass.
