Re: A86: Theory question




about your problem with determining which signal to pick up...
i'm sure all of you have used a cb radio.  most all have or have the ability
to output the transmission to a 3.5mm jack which (with a 2.5mm converter)
would connect to the link port.

you just set the cb to the "channel" you wish to be one and you'll recieve
your data.
the advantage to this is that i'm pretty sure that this could be had for
cheaper than the 20-40 for a radio link.  i'll look into pricing (find
something small with nothing fancy like lcd's or anything)
