Oh, okay, very good. I'm glad you're safety-minded. I don't want to have any accidents there. Very good. Thank you for the clarification. Now I'm 100% on board on what you got going there. I wanted to go back up to Bill, K7WFB. What is this radio? What brand is it? I'd like to look this thing up. I'm glad you're interested. It's an open source project that a fellow back in South Carolina started just about a year ago, I guess. What it is, the device itself is a little board about the size of, about two-thirds the size of a credit card, I guess you'd say, that has a little RF transceiver on it, a one-watt transceiver. It derives the device from the device's power over a USB-C cord to my Android phone. And then there's an app on the phone, which has the whole radio interface, all the frequency settings and all the settings you think of. So the thing is called KV4P. It's the call of this fellow advanced in South Carolina, KiloWatt Victor 4 Papa, KV4P. Just Google that and you'll see all about it. There's been various versions of it that have come out. They just improved it, as I said, within the last week to improve the audio. It sounds like it's really working. What's really fun about the project is that there's a Discord channel associated with it. And so you can see everybody chiming in. And the improvements that have come in from just the Discord members have been amazing, including this latest firmware upgrade. So it's just a fun project that works and is really nice to see open source community collaboration. Thank you. K7WSD.
