I know what you mean HAWKMAN, would love to see some pics of your setup!

One of the added benefits, besides using a $20K piece of Military equipment for your hobby is the beefy door. Someone that wouldn't think twice about kicking in a regular entry door on a shed or garage is going to be pretty intimidated by these shelter doors and a good padlock.

You should think about getting a HAM license. Just a couple weeks to study out of the manual, no more morse code requirement, and then you can legally carry a scanner in your vehicle in just about every state.

Of course like any hobby, the money starts to turn up missing from your wallet...
