But, if you have a ham license, those Part 15 power limits don't mean squat. Remember, the 13 cm band goes from 2.3-2.45 GHz. It's not 2.3 GHz only.
Channels 1-6 of an 802.11b/g system are shared Part97/Part15. Channels 0 and -1 are Part 97 only if you want to avoid interference from Part 15 users. It's exactly the same as if you had a 440 MHz Part 15 device. You can put a power amp on it and be perfectly legal as long as you meet the Part 97 ID requirements. Now, EXCRYPTION is anther matter completely. With the higher power jump to Part 97, you lose the ability for encryption unless the key is publicly available. I'm not going to get into the particulars with that, but it seems that a web page listing the key makes it 'public'. Joe M. Dick wrote: > Kris: > > It should be fairly easy to move it into 2.4 GHz.
