That rocks...I hope they are halfway affordable when they come out. I have to ask which antennas (2.4Ghz) you went with for you setup...I have the small ceiling omnis with my 340, but went with the 8dbi directional patch antennas with the 1200...you are going to laugh when you relaize I have all of this stuff fired up in my house (someone needs to do some research on the health risks)...anyhow, let me know what you have working on your end if you don't mind. I also have to restore your faith that I do understand the different frequencies, etc and realize that you cannot change the laws of physics...but then again it is my fault if I come across as a friggin idiot. Thanks for the info and pics...very cool. Rich --- "Joel R. Helgeson" <joel at helgeson.com> wrote: > Richard, > The Cisco 1200 802.11a Radio comes with its own > captured antenna.
