<blockquote TYPE=CITE>Hi all
<br>This is my first post here so these questions are probably old ones.
<br>A friend and I are currently building machines to connect wireless
to. We
<br>have come across a few problems - as I guess all new comers would.
The
<br>wireless cards we are using are Proxim RangeLAN2's which only have
a small
<br>antenna on them. There is however a MMCX connector underneath
which can
<br>have a pigtail connected to it. My question is - does anyone
know somewhere
<br>in Australia that sells these pigtails? I have been able to find
then in
<br>the US but feel that postage on such an item would cost more than the
item
<br>itself.
<p>I am also hoping for a few suggestions to antenna selection. We
have an old
<br>Austar Sat dish and were going to play with that but from what I read
a
<br>parabolic grid may be a better solution. What's the consensus
there?
<p>One last thing. I have also found some amplifiers and have a circuit
to
<br>build your own, but knowing what level of output is required is something
i
<br>am unsure of. The RL2's output 100mW standard, what sort of range
"should"
<br>that provide with a nice 25db parabolic? Is there a formula to
work out
<br>power output to range knowing a particular antenna's gain? the
amp circuit
<br>I have here allows 2.2Watts output, however is that level of output
legal as
<br>I have seen no products that go above 500mW standard.
<p>A lot of questions I know, please don't feel that you have to answer
them
<br>all, I am simply looking for peoples opinions and experiences in this
area.
<p>Cheers
