I have no idea what it does -- I'm assuming it's very similar to my son's ham radio -- but it sure looks cool. Hobbies this complex have always been intriguing to me.

Compare this to <http://smallwonderlabs.com/Rockmite.htm> http://smallwonderlabs.com/Rockmite.htm>. Sure, it has no buttons at all, but you build it yourself and you can still have a wireless conversation with someone half a world away.
