What's Brewing in Simons' Kitchen
Wouldn't we all like to know? While waiting on my WNICs and Pigtails
from Ryan
I am pondering about the loss dilemma we have with long runs of LMR
400.
Current Project
My current project it to get an access point working, but a very
special one here are the constraints:
- Not more than 1 meter from the antenna
- Remotely managble
- Be homebrew (no cheating with hacked ap's)
- Cheap
- Small
How do I achieve this... I have a few Ideas in the pipeline.
Idea 1: Compaq Contura Aero AP
My initial idea was to build an AP out of a Compaq Contura Aero.
However the specs of that subnotebook although good and there is a lot
about them on the web with regard to installing *nix was excellent.
However it only has 1 PC slot. I have scrapped that idea.
Idea 2: Gut a Broken Notebook Approach AP
I am now in the process of working around the idea of using the guts
of a notebook with a broken screen and putting it into a weather proof
enclosure.
Stay Tuned
If anyone has a notebook with the following specs and is willing to
part with it please let me know.
