I have personally seen 20mi away links..however, you have to be very careful.  If you exceed 35dB then the FCC can impose a $1000/day fine from date of equipment RECEIPT.  Just because it’s unlicensed doesn’t means it’s unregulated…250mw is pushing a lot of power…however, using circular polarized antennas..you can push nearly 40dB yet receive only 35dB using the FCC linear polarized measurement equipment.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Rakowitz Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 7:43 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [VOPRadius] Off Topic Wireless Internet (Needing Information)   Reminds me of the (fiction?) story where a vendor claimed their 5.8 gig equipment had established a link 35 miles away.   A competing vendor quickly pointed out that the link was from the top of a mountain straight down into the first valley and the road distance was 35 miles only because it wrapped around the mountain 6 times getting to the top!   Bill   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Slentz Sent: Thursday, September 11, 2003 6:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [VOPRadius] Off Topic Wireless Internet (Needing Information)   Your serving clients up to 12 miles?  Yes we tried to amp it with 250 mw amps.  What type of antenna's are you using?  Do you have it amped?  Are you using Orinoco?  I would love to talk with you more off list.   Daniel Slentz Network Engineer Oasis Online http://www.oasisol.com
