How far apart does my TX and RX in air miles on 10 meters have to be for a 150 watt transmitter? Can I put a ider on the rx site and let it id through the link and through the transmitter and be legal or do I have to Id at both sites? Thanks Mike N8FWD

One important thing to remember about dosbox and Motorola RSS is that your PC needs a real serial port that has both windows and dos compatible drivers. Preferably a 16540 style UART works best with a new PC, dosbox and some Motorola RSS software, still really old RSS like that for the syntor

Mike, As others have noted, receiver selectivity and transmitter cleanliness will determine how far apart the sites need to be. All transmitters in the system must be ID'd. Various schemes are possible, and the FCC is not going to get so specific here so as to stifle technical innovation.
