[Adrian Stoness]

Also how old is ur Motorola canopy gear? I work in the wireless internet
industry they now have 900mhz radios from canopy that run dual polarized
that can do up to 100mbits transmitter receive been testing it in dens bush
of SE Manitoba and seem to do well for 5-10 meg connections with headroom
couple miles out

My work uses mostly ubiquity stuff Sept for Moto on the 900mhz also got
crap tun of those poor old canopy 900sm radios those things just keep
working
