Hi all,

Just wondering whether anyone could please give me the laymans low-down on STLs?

Supposing I'm looking to move my Tx to a higher location that's, say, 5-12k's
away as the crow flies from my current studio location.

I've heard stuff about modifing a 2.4GHz AV sender by putting a high gain Rx &
TX aerial (grid or otherwise) on the respective AV units. I understand these
will work over short distances, but how about over longer distances?

Would it be better to buy a purpose built unit? If so, what would be an adequate
power output, where would one buy one, and roughly how much would they cost?

I notice there are some 'free' frequencies in the 2.4GHz range, but would it
also be better to get a licenced one? If so, what is the process and how much?

Thanks in advance,

Herb.

Most of them are analogue. I'll try and dig up the link I had for the actual PCB makers. The one I used had 3.5mm stereo unbalanced jack in on both the TX and...
