Hi Dick & Others,

I will throw a topic in the air......
802.11b 2.4 GHz wireless networking.
This is an area that has GREAT potential to Packet & Amateur Radio in
general.
For those that do not know, using existing, relativety cheap 802.11b
Wireless LAN equipment and Dish, yagi, etc gain antenna's, one can set up
reliable point to point or point to multi point links over several Km's. 8
- 12 Km's is not unknown with good Line of Sight (LoS).
Several pieces of equipment available commercially and cheaply, ie the
DLINK 900AP+ Access Point can act as a repeater to further extend the
range of the system.
For what we spend now on a 2m transceiver and TNC you could easliy set up
a point to point link to your mate, or just a dish pointed to a central
"node" that has services on it, FTP,HTTP, SMTP, etc.
You could even have full motion video, FULL DUPLEX, between you and your
friend, or if you wish, a Video conference between many friends at the
same time. ALL DONE ON RF.
Naturally, Internet linking is possible and does happen.
Anyway. This is my addition to Dick's quest for Technical Discussions on
PR.
73 for now
Mark
