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!

| 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, Jose -----Original Message----- From: FThompson9@aol.com <FThompson9@aol.com> To: handyboard@media.mit.edu (...) (27 years ago, 4-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
