Thanks for responding, you and all the others.  I didn't realize that it would spark such interest.  As such, look for an expanded version in the near future.  I'll keep you posted.

Hee Hee.  I've been a fan of David Bowie's music about as long as I have liked the Power Mite - over 30 years.  I joined his ISP so I could get pre-sale concert tickets.  December 10th in Philadelphia.  Look for the middle-aged nerd ham radio geek right up front, but without my "KE3QG" hat.  8^)  But I am phasing in my new email john at john-wiseman.com which you can respond to off-list.

BTW Paul - I like your homepage.  Before I actually bought the PM, I had done an Internet search on all things Power Mite, and your site is one of the few with pictures.  Nice job.  Speaking of websites, mine is now being reconstructed post-AOL.  Here's a small snippet showing a rather unusual use for my 2-meter handheld...

If you collect old QST magazines, look in "Up Front in QST" for November 1999.
