Trey makes a very good point. When I left for N4ZC's in Charlotte the
security folks here in Amarillo wanted to see it work. But I did not have
a powersupply as there was one waiting for me at Rog's.
Anyways I showed them my license which satisfied them. In addition they
made a copy of the license for there records before letting me pass.
