For the GTA04 adapter board you are already distributing the files that Bob Ham is asking for (AFAICT - not an EE). http://projects.goldelico.com/p/gta04-main/downloads/42/ The adapter board license (CC-BY-SA) is more friendly than the GTA04 board license (CC-BY-NC-SA). So I'm wondering about

Great job for your website ! I think, it could be good too to have a different page on GD shop for the wish lists : https://shop.goldelico.com/wiki.php?page=GTA04 The actual page has a lot of informations which can be found in the GTA04 documentation already pointed by the new website proposal.

Nick, you raised very good questions. I believe, that we don't need GSM at all. I don't use it for two years now. When we use GSM we use carrier services. Can we be sure that carrier does not track us, don't record our calls etc? For instance, in my country secret service has direct access to
