James, I've been working on just that. Are you interested in Niwka?? If so, you'll need a radio capable of receiving the signal. Have identified the AD 7020 as a likely candidate. The dev boards are quite steep around 200 us. Need a LO and a mixer to down convert to uhf. Hittite makes a mixer with a dev board for 16 us plus shipping via eBay;. DEMI makes a preamp for this band. No trips to AES or HRO for this Homebrew only!!!! Norm

I am looking for some information on how to receive 5.8GHz. What devices are used to receive this frequency? I have the capability to receive up to 2.4GHz but I am not sure what is available to receive data on 5.8GHz.
As always, thanks a million for everyone's support.
