Thought I better post so I don't get removed. I tend to do more lurking than posting, as quite often, due to a fairly busy life, taxiing 4 kids around the metro area, by the time I get to read the threads that I am interested in, have had all the comments made that I would have made. Also being a qu...

<P>I think the one for $17 (inc postage) from Hong Kong on eBay will do just as well.
Don't bet on it - bought one of those and had no luck getting it to work. Bought one from http://www.dontronics.com/index.html, nearly $60, but works every time. No hassle to install and Aussie bassed.

I had been doing some night cacheing, and had parked the car (registered in my wife's name) and hiked off to try to find the cache. It was in a semi rural location SE of Melb. Got back to the car (after not finding the cache) and headed down the road. Had not gone far when the mobile rings and my wi...

Because my time is limited, I tend to do caches only in areas where I am already travelling due to family (read kids) having things on in the area. The number of cache's being placed also means that you don't need to go far to visit quite a few. If I had the spare time, I would love to do some of th...

I bought one of ebay - couldn't get it to work at all. Bought a more expensive one from this mob http://www.dontronics.com/usb_232.html. No problems with it at all. Also includes a couple of small LED's which show when it's transfering data.

But the failures could accelerate due to the number of satellites that have used up...

Not having much money, only had a 23ch AM that I must have bought with my pocket money back in about 1977 when I was still at school. Made my own anteana that I stuck on the roof with a bit of aluminium rod stuck in a wooden block, and then 4 bits of wire run down the slope of the roof as the ground...
