I worked on an antenna problem recently on a 900Mhz spread spectrum
meter system here in Connecticut. I only spent an afternoon, but the
technology is fascinating. Two way communications from selected sites
to the meters will eventually be implemented. If the customers meter

may be fascinating technology, but it won't be so fascinating when you are
facing a huge electric bill because they jacked your rates up during peak
hours.
the system fascinates me from a tech standpoint

We've already been there.
i rember this in the early 90's. which is why i did not have internet back
then either.
my first exposure was in the mid 90's when the local library started
offering free internet access.
then was on dial up till a few years ago.
i have hung onto my v.92 modems
I don't see anything particularly revolutionary about a
mesh/node data network. That's been going on for years and
years...
(Trying to keep this on-topic...)
By the way, there's some math formulas done back in the 70s and
80s that show the maximum throughput rates of networks like this,
and
technology and we will be seeing a lot more of it.

Isn't this close enough to PAVE PAWS to cause some problems? They basically
cleared the 440 band out...
Literally millions of transmitters potentially interfering with the RADAR...
Hmm. This sounds like it could get interesting.

They cleared out 440, but I didn't think they cleared out the 450-470
Land Mobile band, too, did they? Land Mobile uses much higher power TXs
which would be that much more of a problem than these flea power
transmitters.

it's time to build short-hop links or a portable event repeater! - 73, Paul
