As I understand it, the Eagle design team have used standard predictions of 801.11 usage to determine mathematically that by the time of launch the radio environment will simply not support reliable communications.
I probably missed something here! Can you guide us where we can read what make's you "understand it" Why all the new Wi-FI device in all the electronic/computer stores around us here in QC are actually migrating towards 5.2ghz and higher? I was in Miami FL in July and i observed the same trend?
But I can assess an argument, and the responses so far have not been nearly as rigorous. They have amounted to "works for me", which I think misses the point.
Have you been on AO-51 last week where U/S mode was on? I was and i can tell you there is absolutely no interference who prevent me to hear and make contacts without any problem..That's what i called rigorous testing... Use it test it and speak about what you know not on what you hear about. I am not trying to second guessing anyone here!
Please, please, those of you who are qualified and competent and hold the opposing opinion, take the design committee at their word and assess their work, check their assumptions, present cogent opposing arguments.
Again show us where you read/hear "the design committee words" as rigorous you approach seems to be here is the way to prove it to us. I am not the one who blindly believe, and even more when we speak about AMSAT-NA...
