A86: Radio Link (more)
I went into #electronics on IRC and gathered some rough info about the
possible Radio Link. According to the person I talked to, here are the
following specs of a Radio Link that could be easily built by someone who
knows what they're doing. I asked if the she would build it for pay, but
the she was too busy to do a task that wouldn't pay so much. I have the IRC
logfile of the conversation describing how it would all work in case anyone
wants it.
Our Radio Link (this is actually a digital radio link and not analog) --
1) AM transmission at 50mhz or 75mhz
2) SSB encoder to reduce transmission size
3) Binary logic converter (i think this has something to do with
voltage<->tone)
4) 9V battery
5) the rest of the components to make it work. I am no electronics man. =)
would give us the following features --
- 2 mile range (at the very least. increase of power could get us 5 miles)
- legal! no license needed at the 2 frequencies (FCC rules)
- 9600bps transfer rate
- the 9v should run it for a few hours
- very small. like IR link small. put it in your pocket.
- cost should be around $30
- would plug into the linkport. no graphlink required
Ok, people. Build it! I'll talk to some of my electronic freak friends.
