I think with wifi stuff, you need a computer. You wont get any better fidelity then an FM broadcast band transmitter, at least, nothing that I can think of would be better and give a good range.
I would like to get a wireless microphone like they use for on stage work, maybe with a boom mike, and have a way to be out in the yard and key up the transmitter, not vox would be best, full fidelity receive and transmit, so I can multi task and wash the car and operate, mow the lawn, pull weeds, etc. Brett N2DTS > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of VJB > Sent: Friday, March 03, 2006 12:02 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [AMRadio] wireless cross-technology > > In the discussion about systems letting us go portable > around the yard and keep up with an AM QSO, does > anyone have experience with the wi-fi systems as to > whether they can be adapted? > > Apparently there is an older 802 type of system being > superceded, and the older ones are really cheap.
