Ok, I'll put you down for one.  Please note this is me personally doing this,
not an FSG sponsored thing.

You'll need a cable and a windows XP or 7 machine with a serial port.  Some
serial adapters will work, others will not, just get a real serial port and be
done with it.

This cable will program both the CDM and the HT's in the Waris series.
Software is easy to install, it's not like the Maratrac radios :)

FSG has a few setups, I'd probably like to help you out with this, and show
you the ropes of it.  It's not the easiest thing to work with if you've never
seen it before.

We'd need to have at least a piece of braided/shielded cat 5 installed from
the roof and grounded to the area you want to interconnect the system to.

What are the coordinates of both locations or addresses and how high will be
be?  I can run a path profile from the site to you.

Awesome, we may be.  I'll talk with some of the others involved here (or they
can speak up here!).  I know we're trying to get a banner together for hamwan
at DCC.

Will you be at DCC next weekend?
