[BC] 5.8 Ghz STL's

[Bill Spry]

Unfortunatley I'm not an engineer.  That's why I took the topic here. 
Perhaps those pros can read about their system and then make some comments 
on what they read.  I found out about the Gemini system from an artical in 
the Radio Guide.  The writer made some great claims about the units.

Here is the website:

We are looking at the Gemini Lite which provides 22 mb bandwidth when 
compare to their standard system which provides 44 mb.

I appreciate any feedback in order to help us make our decision as we don't 
have too many options at 30 miles.



Best Regards,

William J. Spry
