This Alfa AWUS036H looks great. 54Gb is more than I need for anything I
do away from home. That big antenna looks like it's going to get me a
reliable link.

My one quibble is that this is a 1000mw transmitter:
That's 1 watt, which I'd think would be a substantial drain on a
battery. I don't know the USB spec: What's the max current a USB can
safely deliver, on one port, or on all?

Anyway, I might get this.

Thanks,
