[MLB-WIRELESS] amps

[evilbunny]

Hello Ben,

Fact is most people don't live in rural areas... So chances are most
on this list won't be in rural areas either... Hell some are likely to
be in Europe/UK where the legal limit is 100mW, what the hells an Amp
going to do for them? (Apart from getting them into a lot of trouble,
they have to use cable to increase loss just to use directional
antenna legally)

BR> Some of us are actually interested in their use in a legitimate-needs basis?

BR> That said, if any of us actually IMPLEMENT an amp, you can

BR> Geddit ?!
