[MLB-WIRELESS] Newbie question

[Drew]

you can get the same cards for $132 from michael borthwick (sp?) if he 
still has any
pigtails for $40
antenna for free off someone's roof (galaxy)
if you use an old 486 laptop you dont need a pcmcia adapter, most people 
could get one of these free somewhere

so that's more like $132+40+100 = $272 or even cheaper if you don't need 
any LMR, or the $30 card buy comes through
