Well, I'm not just building *any* WiFi setup - I researched a bit and
found on eBay what is generally agreed on to be one of the top 5 internal 802.11 cards. With up to 250mw output and external antenna, I plan on diving into a new hobby - wardriving. I could just buy a USB WiFi adapter and crack open the case and hack it with an external antenna but from what I've seen, both the low output and poor rx sensitivity seem to be quite common with these devices and that is not what I want. I did remember a bookmarked site which calculated the info I needed. Turns out that my coax in question will have about 1.7 db loss at 5ghz. Not too bad. Still, if anyone knows of a coax that is better than RG174 while being about the same size, please chime in with your comments! Ken KG0WX |
