One more thing about using the flashlights; not only are they the same as our drills, the batteries are a quick-change. No fumbling around with clips and trying to hold it in place on a 12/12 pitch roof. Clip the battery to you, and you have Cat5 running between the device and the battery that is clipped to your belt.
It is not the brands you use, it is how you use them.

(solution must be re-chargeable via auto adapter) We are wanting to use an actual CPE radio with a 19dBi panel antenna, connected to an iPAQ/Axim so we are needing a re-chargeable power source for the radio. BTW, we tried a 9-volt battery but it only kept the radio powered up for 5 - 10 minutes. Would something like http://tinyurl.com/vgm4n work? Shannon D. Denniston, Co-Founder KyWiFi, LLC - Mt.
