Suburban.  The nearest source of serious EMI is probably Philadelphia, 
25 miles east of here.  Hmmmm....

...not yet. You're not on IRC or Signal so you don't know; I've been hit
with some serious medical bills recently due to needing arthroscopic
surgery for a bone lesion in my ankle.  While I'm recovering quite
nicely, I'll want to repair the hole in my bank account before I
buy any toys.

On the other hand, 3.3v and an SIO interface shouldn't be difficult to
integrate with a Pi at all (as in, even a hardware duffer like me 
could probably do it). And thanks to Jason Azze I have a couple
spare Pi3Bs on my shelf. 

Goes on the longer-term to-do list.
