[MLB-WIRELESS] Minitar specs

[Nick Grundy]

I was doing some research on the SVEC power output tweek.
the stuff i read said it's a bad thing(tm).

a SVEC outputs 15dbm/30mw of rf energy, which occupies 22Mhz of the 2.4ghz ISM band.
when you modify them to 100mw then the output polutes the entire 2.4Ghz ISM band and
it also has harmonics down in the MDS spectrum and up in the amatuer radio 2.4Ghz
spectrum.

The Minitar output 18dbm/40mw from the factory and only occupy 22Mhz of the ISM band.
I wouldn't want to try and run a couple of hacked SVEC's within the same RF area, and I
currently have 2 AP's and a ad-hoc link coming into/intersecting my property. It could
be somewhat of a mess :/

Personally I'm leaning towards using Minitar equipment due to the higher output levels
and web config, SVEC's are a bitch to configure for those of us who use macs :)
