I was thinking about this in Craig's line of thought as well - would it be plausible to just use your phone, a little code and develop your own scanning software?

I realize this might be out of scope of your immediate need - but you know, if you wanted a challenge.... .m On Tue, Jul 1, 2014 at 5:38 AM, craig boman <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Hey Riley, > > We have metroset voyagers too.
