Well as far a wireless coax goes, it has been around for years! I used it in the Army in the 70ties.
No kidding ...it works like this. A small xmitter is mounted at the base of the antenna . The received signal is then xmitted to a receiver mounted close to the radio you are using then into the radio. Of course the same is done(only in reverse) to send. |

Allagator running it vertical or hozizontal? On the side of the tower? Also how much hay did you move today? worked on a belt driven reese mower today, real quiet mower for cutting hay. also windrows the grass. But still have to rake it to big bales. Also how far did you put it off the side of the tower? |
