Piece of cake. Running at 5.5Mb (sometimes 11Mb). Using 24dbi grid
antenna w/ short (50') LMR-400 cable, you get 4 watts at the antenna
(15dbi from the card, plus 24dbi antenna, minus 3 dbi drop in the cable is
36dbi == 4 watt). I could probably do better if I could actually see how
well the antenna are aimed at each other. A little tuning might also
help. But the link is solid. I could drop down to 1 or 2 Mbs and go over
30 miles.
I use AP-3s (aka AP-2000's). They have their own "system". To connect
out to the Internet I use a Linux box as a router (the APs are bridges).
Ciao,
