100mW can do quite a lot. I think 100mW is quite a reasonable limit for unlicensed operation. In Australia we have a particular band of frequencies reserved for unlicensed operation (*) up to 300mW. (*) Actually it's not unlicensed, but operates under a class license like CB, ie the entire class of devices is automatically licensed. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB (ex-VK3TYD).
