Mark VK3JMA mentions the 2Ghz 1,800 whatever it is system that can be used in
amateur radio. I see that they are using it in VK4 land.
We looked at doing something here on our clubs repeater site but with the
power levels that are available it seemed doomed from the start.
The repeater is located on a good site, one of the highest in Sydney but it is
not on the edge of the plateau, but some kilometers back.
This means that the Parramatta River basin is not visible and there are no line
of sight areas that could give wide coverage of amateurs. Even if we had such
a view we would need more power than the mwatts that this gear puts out.
I did look on the internet for amplifiers, but I believe unless we could get
to around 10 watts we would be wasting our time & money.
There is a section on the ARRL web site devoted to these systems.
