Doppler shift is negligible. The real problem with mobile operation (especially at 1,2GHz) is the constant change RF path due to reflections on ground structures (eg. buildings). We have used with success a webcam mounted on a moving vehicule. At the push of a button, it was transmitting one jpeg image. It was working fine at highway speed in the open field, i.e. in plain view of the repeater site that was some 35km away. We have not done yet any experiment from a plane or helicopter, but we have all reasons to believe it would work. > > > > > > Also would like to know of anyone successfully using VOIP. > > Is it possible to send voip over the high speed link. As for VoIP, the half-duplex nature of this beast (and it's rather long turn around time), makes it virtually impossible.
