Greetings All,
While I admit to being hasty with my sarcastic reply to DonChicago, I do want to thank those that have replied especailly Thorn.
While I had read all the information I could find on the FCC site including all parts relating to 2.4Ghz I could find, I did not have a clear understanding of the limitations. Nor did endless reading of the FCC regulations clarify it.

After even further research, I noticed that the one Watt amp has a 17db gain on the RX side and a 30db on the TX side. That of course would put me way over the limit, thanks to my new understanding.

Let me change the senario a bit. To see if I now have a better understanding.

In order to effect a long distance point to multipoint I could in fact use with no legal FCC wrangling an 8dB omnidirectional outdoor antenna and Fab-Corps 500mw amp that has a 27db gain on the TX and a 17dB typical on the RX. While I'm sure I would be skirting the limits, would this be considered "Okay" by the FCC. I already have an antenna tower at about 75 feet. So RF radiation is at a minimum to the immediate neighborhood.

Due to some other activities I am involved in I have dealt with the "New and Improved" FCC. While it will take a while for things to shake out they'll eventually be a threat to those stepping over the line. The days of Pirate Radio are numbered and it's sad.

Later and Thanks again.
