Gary,

Yes, I understand your concern about wireless.  Mine is on all the time so I 
doubt it lets anyone know much about the status and since I'm close to 500 
feet from the road, I don't think it is very detectable out there.  And it 
is secure so its not going to be easy for someone to get into it.  I'm just 
running the normal home wireless system, low power and standard antenna.

Thick net, thin net and UTP Cat 5 or 6 are all ethernet cables.  It has been 
a long time since I saw a computer that had anything but RJ- type connector 
so I believe the current standard is the Cat 6 cables which are good for 
about 100 meters.  It has been a long time since I saw thick net or even 
thin net .  Anyway, before I planned on LMR-400 for the network, I would 
make sure that my computers could interface with it.  Mine can't.

Kerry
