What gear are you using today? Has the recent downturn in the economy hurt you any? We found that the Canopy gear scales better due to the GPS sync. In past with Trango and other gear we would fight self interference on 900 quite a bit. With over 20 tower sites its hard to coordinate. Apparently you have not had those problems. Been 3 years since we deployed anything but Canopy. Matt -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
