I have been reading about the Xbee Xtend 900MHz Pro. This is a wireless serial modem with a transmission range of up to 40 miles LOS (with a high gain directional antenna)
I'm not super familiar with RF, but I know there are a fair number of Ham guys on the group. If I was to build the proper circuits to connect the Xbee to my PC and my m100, with an omnidirectional whip antenna, could I conceivably be broadcasting a serial connection to a bubble of 5 miles, or so, around my home? Does that sound possible? If it is possible, then would it also be conceivable that I could concoct some kind of router at the receiving end, and have other people sharing this connection using m100s and HP-200LXs connected to these xbee modules? My mind is all aflutter.
