Thanks. I was basically the only living body in spare parts and I couldn't stop long enough to test that myself. Unfortunately I normally have one of my A/B/G/N 'war driving' kits with me, but I had to move quickly to absorb spare parts and get all my tools so it ended up sitting at home on the floor.

I did have my Droid-X with WiFi Analyzer App and towards the end during eliminations (while I was moving batteries) I did see 4 networks that are not normally present and they were definitely G networks (my phone does not do A/N).

Are there G networks for field controls, or do these access points continue to transmit the G networks even when you're not using them? I don't know so I'm asking.
