What you trying to build? This is a military or intelligence project? :) Such crazy platform should be expensive, thousands of USD I think. Regards, Alex. I've already looked at the costs - thankfully AR9003 radio modules are not very expensive. I'm also aware of the various RF considerations with all those radios co-located. If you or anybody wants to discuss my goals in more detail, please contact me off-list. I'd be happy to share with you more, but I don't want to get too far off-topic on the mailing list. Back to the question: anybody have thoughts on potential design limitations? ___ ath9k-devel mailing list ath9k-devel@lists.ath9k.org https://lists.ath9k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath9k-devel
