well, this is a good question, if you are planning to use a "pair" of this devices one as master and one as a slave with some external omni atennas that you might get maybe 80m or so but only in LINE OF SHIGHT!!!, in normal shack conditions with wires and shields I would say maybe 10m or so. Also important the level of interference in ISM band, the modulation for BT devices is GFSK, DQPSK and DPSK, the good part is the BT protocol is designed to avoid 802.11 b/g/n/ac and can go up to 2485Mhz and at least for NA the upper freq is ch 11- 2462 as central freq so at 30dBc you'll get 2473, so there is some free sectrum room to avoid house interference from wifi equipement (in EU I think can go up to ch 14). The BT BW is 3Mhz as far as I remember plus the protocol is close to FHSS one. However the biggest BT killer are the 2.4Ghz wireless phones, try to avoid this at home (I witched with DECT ones). Having a free of interference spectrum will "extend" the coverage coz the RSSI on wifi devices is not an absolute value (is a long story with wifi/BT rx calibration) and is enterily based on SNR, if there is an interference the BT device will "report" a lower RSSI and will decrease the modulation scheme. In my HF shack I had no problems with HF interference (no wonder the spectrum is faar away) consider mounting this gizmos with external antenna in a pair config and do not relay on internal computer BT card....my two cents vy 73 de VE3GNO Daniel From: Poul Erik Karlshøj (PKA) <[email protected]> To: VE3GNO Daniel <[email protected]>; "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2013 10:04:59 AM Subject: SV: [Elecraft] RS-232 over WiFi
Hi Daniel That's an interesting solution too and cheaper than the WiFi units. Do you know what would be the range using a Lenovo notebook (the adaptor should be OK for 100m according to the spec., but I don't know about the notebook)? 73/OZ4UN Poul-Erik -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] På vegne af VE3GNO Daniel Sendt: 25. juni 2013 15:48 Til: [email protected] Emne: Re: [Elecraft] RS-232 over WiFi I was thinking at this one http://www.ebay.ca/itm/221236298021?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_2256wt_701 there are cheaper solutions on ebay but I am not sure if can handle RTS and CTS. vy 73 de VE3GNO Daniel ________________________________ From: ab2tc <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2013 9:39:32 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] RS-232 over WiFi Hi,, Works great for what?
