Cypherpunks, Looking through the new Nuts and Volts I came accross this ad: SPREAD SPECTRUM tranceiver modules, USA, part 15, 100mw 902-928 MHz. XT interface needs only an address decoder, 74ls245 and antenna. Data or voice to 242kb/s. With manual $240 + $5 S&H, VISA or MasterCard. SKV International, 37200 Central Court, Newark, CA 94560. 510-796-1101, call for RF sales. Anyone up for setting up a bay area network based on these things? 100mw into a yagi could be good for 10 miles or so, and I think you are allowed up to a watt under part 15 as long as your signal meets certain requirements, this could extend the range to 30-40 miles per link. Local links could be set up to cover a number of users in a local area. How does this sound? Does anyone know of a better deal for SS modules? mycal -- Welfare by mycal@netacsys.com welfare, ha, your not my friend you bury the people, in the end gernerations of lost hope you feed destruction of famlies is your need an illusion of of hope that you pretend is the wasting of soles that will never mend wastfull bureaucracy is what you breed the middle class is what you bleed tentions of race is your rift stagnation of life is your gift so, welfare it is time to meet your death before you suck the life out of everyons breath
