Vega also makes a box that will do two links at the same time. Dealer cost is about $875 per unit.

If your not familiar with the JPS NXU-2's they are a stand-alone "black box" that requires nothing but power, Ethernet 10base=T connection and of course programming on an IP address to locate the other end. SEE http://www.jps.com/index.asp?node=89 The NXU-2's will find each other and maintain an open channel providing all the signaling for repeaters or remote base operations. An example of the two I have we had one end with a Motorola Spectra and the other end was a DC remote and it didn't matter where the two were as long as they found each other they worked. The issue here is the JPS NXU-2 box's cost $1,500.00 each and I can't imagine no one makes a similar device for a lot less. The end result I'm looking for is to use 802.11b modems as the "ISP" and have the two units locate each other through my network. I figure with dish antennas and good feedline I should see a 35-mile path no problem. I hope this clarifies what I'm looking for, and YES I know there's lots of old computers out there that could be thrown at this but when you install stuff in solar powered sites, or sites with lots of RF a computer running 50, 100, 200 MHz processors might not be a good idea let alone the need for rebooting these babies ever so often. But please keep the cards and letters coming, with all that HAM radio is someone out there must have something similar all ready operating. --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Adi Linden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > can pass it reliably enough.
