I read your email to Mike, in Repeater-Builder. I am interested in more information on 2.4 Ghz. Where does one locate parts? Is it easier to build the circuits or purchase pre-assembled parts? How much forward power is needed to reach 25-30, straight line of sight, miles, on 2.4 GHz? How big an antenna is needed? What are the basic parts of a 2.4 Ghz station? Which is better to take a small sample of 146 Mhz & mix it in a transverter to get 2.4 Ghz? Or feed audio into a 2.4Ghz unit? At my earth station job, we use a 70 Mhz IF. So, could I use a 146 Mhz IF, with a transverter, to get 2.4 Ghz? Which would best for 25-30 miles 903Mhz, 1.2 Ghz, or 2.4 Ghz? Of course, have considered and may use Uhf, if I can locate proper equipment. Where can I read more about sources of & how to interface microwave communications equipment? Are there many Ghz stations in the 48 states? So, as you can see I have a basic idea of the parts used to get to 2.4 Ghz. Although, I am interested in more information. Thanks for your time.
