2.4 just has a huge noise floor. Let alone firing up the microwave (and all aren't as tight as we are led to believe), which basically is a barrage jammer ;) Gotta love a magnetron. I am starting to pollute 5GHZ and 5.8 GHZ myself ;) -- jeffmc JeffMc Pacific Northwest ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jeffmc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11172 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43155 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
