Ron and others: I have to agree with Mark Ford in that the news briefs coming out of these NASA announcements about the rover status (and the music played to each one) tells us almost nothing about what they are finding up there. Is the information somewhere else on the net that we can go and

I vote for the RHINO series of personal communicators. They have 2-5 mile walkie talkie range and built in 12 channel WAAS GPS. The BEST part is that they can signal each other and relay the GPS coordiantes to one anotherreal handy if your separated into groups and out of line of site. With t
