[MLB-WIRELESS] RE: passive repeater - Take 2

[Marian Szczepkowski]

If you do not have line of  site between the two ends then 4 directional 
antennae and 2 mmic's
will do the job. You only need one way amplifiers in this case.

You need directional antena to prevent the feedback thingy.
Power consumption will depend on how hard you drive the mmic's.

What is a mmic you ask?

Ask google.

How do you use one?
Google is your friend!
