I would really stress the importance of what Eric says; with directional antennas, NOT omnis, would be ideal for a point to point setup. The two points to remember is that directionals pickup better signal from where they are aimed at, and REJECT signals that are coming from other directions, where as omni's are very prone to signals from all directions equally. There are small square flat patch panal antennas that are very good to start with, cheap and also very discreet!http://www.hyperlinktech.com/web/hg2414p.php Andy Middleton
