[MLB-WIRELESS] newbie user

[Rob B]

Many of these thing were discussed at the last meeting. And I would invite
you to the next meeting as to supplying info on whgere to get said hardware
this is not our responsablity to monitorand would be too big a job to keep
up to date. as to what throughput you can expect and what antennas to setup,
even software , all can be affect by so many elements  at best we can offer
guesses until you conduct a trial.
Once again I invite you to the meeting to "farm" the best guesses from the
assembled experance.
Regards Rob B
PS $2 a snag , $2 a can on the night
Next meeting 13th June http://melbourne.wireless.org.au/ for details
