Hi,
	I have an idea for using C.B. radio's for wireless data transmission.  
I'm not sure exactly how it works, but here is what I have done so far:

I found a C.B. radio that accepts the sub-mini plug for a remote 
microphone that is the same size as the calculators link port.  When I 
tried to send a program from the calc, the C.B. began to transmit some 
tones.  There's no way I could find out if it would actually send it 
across the airwaves because I don't have a second Calculator or C.B. 
that accepts a sub-mini plug.  Just think if this works at sufficient 
speeds, you could play someone a game of Tetris while traveling cross 
country using a mobile C.B. and an antenna.

	By the way when I send a program to someone else using the link cable 
is this the correct process where as "Sending Calc" is the one that sent 
the program and "receiving Calc is the one that received the program?  
Send Data to Calc--Receiving Calc is in receiving Mode, Sending Calc is 
in sending mode...
Check If Data Has Been Sent--Receiving Calc is in sending mode, Sending 
Calc. is in receiving mode.  If It dies not get confirmation, it 
displays and error.  Otherwise it displays done when everything is sent 
successfully.

Will any of this work???
