[MLB-WIRELESS] node building

[Peter Buncle]

There wasn't a bulk buy, people have started using the wrap boards now
when they are going to use 
more than one radio.
 
Paul at www.yawarra.com.au kindly offers a 10% discount to melbourne
wireless members.
 
Cheers
 
Peter

	If you mean literally "across the street" then a stock rubber
duck
	antenna (2.2dBi gain) will be fine. A 9dBi will double your
range.
	Anything over 9dBi gets very expensive. Over 300 Superpass
omni's

are
	bound to be some kicking around somewhere - along with 4Km's of
	LMR400 from Jules alone.
