Seeking high-power multi-standard...
Fellow wireless folk,
I'm seeking a high-power (at least 100mW) multi-standard (a, b, and g) PCI-based wireless NIC. I've done lots of Googling, and haven't come up with much as yet. Everything I've found to date seems to be either single-standard (b or g) or low-powered. Any help? Thanks much. |

I.E. : Code:
Protocol Frequency Mhz Reg.Domain US EIRP Reg.Domain EU EIRP 802.11b/g ISM 2400-2483.5 FCC 15.247 36dBm ptm ETS 300 328 20 dBm 3-for-1 ptp 802.11a UNII-I 5150–5250 FCC 15.401 23dBm TS 101 475 23 dBm Indoor only Indoor only UNII-II 5250-5350 FCC 15.401 30 dBm TS 101 475 30 dBm 5470–5725 TS 101 475 30 dBm UNII-III 5750–5825 FCC 15.401 36 dBm An educated guess would be that chipset and OEM manufacturers are making it easy for themselves by limiting the power to the least common denominator (20 dBm in your case, being in the UK) for their combo cards. Saves them the hassle of implementing adaptive power algorithms. Dutch

/rant on Why not just give a standard lat/lon coordinate, or the plain old US Postal Service Zip-code ? /rant off And don't use words such as "Chastity" with G8t. A) He don't know what it means, and B) He'll just think that it is the firstname of some big breasted pr0n-model from your youth.. Vy de 73, Dutch

It seems to be used for mainly for DX contests, something I've never had an interest in doing. Since it was invented in the early Eighties and therefore predates GPS systems and software, I'd guess that was easier to determine a rough location by grid coordinates and therefore facilitate antenna aiming, rather than obtaining the exact Lat/Long.

I was never certain of what had sparked the existence of the Maidenhead grid system myself. However, what you suggest (a tool for antenna aiming, especially since an RF beam is hardly coherent) makes perfect sense to me. While I am indeed a hamateur, I'm not a DXer. I tend to use the Maidenhead system primarily because I like doing things a little differently from the mainstream. It's also fun to see how many (or how few, in some cases) folks 'get it' or are curious enough to look it up. On my original topic: Thanks for the explanations. I should have made it clearer that all I want is a multi-standard PCI card that can deal with a/b/g networks, has an external antenna connector (RP-SMA), and the top legal limit (for the U.S.) of +19dB transmitter output. Most of the cards I've seen seem to be +15dB, max. Keep the peace(es).
