they sure shot themselves in the foot ;) Like all things wireless so much
of it depends on setup conditions: good line of sight (no trees) - good
signal; bad line of sight - sucky signal. Bad signal = lots of
retransmits = latency.

Unfortunately there are only 2 or 3 people at breezecom with a clue, be
sure to talk to the engineers an not the market droids.

As to Dan Hollis' question of price, we're resellers so i cant give you a
fair price, check Ingram Micro. Please dont think i'm necessarily biased
because we resell, we had a few months about 1.5 years ago where we were
RMAing probably 35-40 % of our radios - bad connection between antenna and
circut board. We've also had units that mysteriously stop working after
several days, power cycle and they're fine (after a 45 minute drive to the
top of the hill :( They seem to be getting better, but if someone knows
of a different product that will do over breezecom's 3Mbit at 4-5 miles
out i'd drop them like a hot rock. (standard personal opinion disclamer
applies)
