Understood.

Are all forms of Ham communications on 900MHz
limited to 4W or only high-speed data/video?

Hmmmm.

Sounds like 70CM is more versatile.

Line-of-site, like light?

Are all forms of Ham communications on 5.2 & 5.4
limited to 1W eirp or only high-speed data/video?

> that help at all?  marlon

Every shred of data and informed perspective is
valuable for planning a future strategy!
