That was back in August, and yes, a friend of mine brought an MP130
back from Def Con that had been in military service. It had the
software on it used for calling in artillery strikes, but
unfortunately it proved impossible to move the software anywhere
except onto my MP2100, where it didn't work. But I couldn't move it
either from the 130 or my 2100 onto my Mac.
But the software didn't want to work without the radio and GPS hooked
up anyway. It would start up but then keep getting communications
error dialog boxes that would cover up the main screen and wouldn't
go away.
