<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.
