Give Ben a couple weeks and I bet he'll be doing some kicking in St. Louis. I need to wear shin guards while I'm there.

With the AF-5X release, this will cover the 5.1-5.8GHz band. Knowing when any band will become available is always a challenge...(and 5.1GHz is not used in many, many parts of the world).

Looking forward to testing it for a shorter link in a less congested area. We should have been on a licensed link a long time ago… At least we are going that way now. </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote>
