I figure, it doesn't have to be a 2m radio if we can find a pair of
smaller/lower power radios in other bands.

Would be cool if we could somehow get a NMEA GPS stream out of the GPS
receiver in whatever *droid phone is in use, and just feed this.

As far as batteries go, if we're ambitious, it would help the efficiency
of things to have a single DC bus, rather than multiple packs of battery
cells.
