Due to the fact that it's a much wider signal than 1.2 DV, and the receiver at that width is not as sensitive, it takes a very solid signal into the Access Point/DD system to work well. With our high site, we see that it works great over a large area when non-moving, but motion/multipath tears it up. A continuous ping by one of our folks with a 1.2 GHz radio would start working at every stop light, and stop as soon as he was moving. > I mean in a vehicle above say at a constant 30-45 mph. > What about at higher speeds?

The harder part in an aircraft would be getting the 1.2 GHz signal outside the airframe. 1.2 GHz antennas for aircraft are in short supply, I'd say. Remember also that it's 128K HALF-duplex... -- Nate Duehr, WY0X n...@natetech.com
