Ahhh. I tried one or two of the sl units. Just ordered some more. I
like
them so far.
Think of multipath like a bad echo. If you've even stood in a
completely
empty BIG room, like a grain elevator, warehouse etc. you know that it
can
be hard to carry on a conversation with someone. The sound waves just
keep
bouncing around and around and around.
OFDM likes the echos, most anything else doesn't.
thanks,
marlon
