185 meters without a repeater box. From experience, I'd place at least 2 meters of cable (minimum) between stations. Add a repeater and you can go another 185 meters. The limiting factor will be the _delay_ time for getting a packet from one end of the network to the other end. Something about degradation of the signal... 8-) -- -= Sent by Debian 1.2 Linux =- Thomas Kocourek KD4CIK - member of ARRL @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@westgac3.dragon.com Remove @_@ for correct Email address --... ...-- ... -.. . -.- -.. ....- -.-. .. -.- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
