First tests do not look very encouraging, but I would need to properly
test the range with fresh batteries.(I keep running my partly charged
nicads down playing with the tractor grabber model thingy). Also I need
to set up a video camera so I can see where the unit is going when

I wonder if those using higher voltage DC supplies get more reliable
transmission even if not necessarily more range.
