Re: [44net] NPR (New Packet Radio) : new firmware with 56kBaud and 120kBaud

Been looking at that also. We are working on a local net using ubiquity device but those nice radio 2.4 and 5.8 ghz don't do 100 miles links easily. You need very large dish and damn good solid base that won't move in the winds to make it work. So you are stuck on smaller jumps and if you are lucky there is a mountain top that works for that. But in a place like the province of Quebec, where we have plains as larger then many states in the USA and some other region that have peaks in the 1000 meter to 1500 meter high. ( more then 150 of those peaks) and almost all of those are in the wilderness with road to go there.. so we need links that can do 200 km or more. And 2.4ghz won't cut it at those distance.
