Yep, ok. Is the 23cm band that narrow? Also, I thought the S5 folks were
using 13cms. However I (we) would be interested in 6cm, 3cm or whatever.
I do not see that which band is a problem.
Just a dumb thought, has anybody thought of hooking the AUI (or UTP) port
of an ethernet card to "a radio" and used that for point-to-point links at
(say) 10 GHz? I would like to link my Linux box to that of g0pae at
ethernet speeds :-).
(Apologies to those who do not consider this to meet the strictest
"Linux-hams" criteria)
