[MLB-WIRELESS] Best cards for the job

[Marian Szczepkowski]

The zonet access point looks good, 2 antenna's allows greater reception
capacity. You are normally limited by the Tx power restricting the gain, as
the antenna is used for both Tx/Rx. In this case you could use a massive receive
antenna and get some real distance.

Why is this good "Voyager" has a 4 watt transmitter.
