Pherd,
It sounds as though he is planning on patching the output of a RF
transmitter to the input of a RF receiver.
73's,

| Yes, that is what I'm trying to do. I think that this would eliminate interferance. Though the price is tethered operation. I guess it doesn't really have to be a coax. It can just be an RCA A/V cable right? Or how about a single wire! ---...--- (...) (26 years ago, 4-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
