I'm on-record on this subject (and equipment, as well as SVEAsoft in-general) other places, and its straight-forward to find these with google. examples include: http://www.seattlewireless.net/pipermail/dev/2004-July/013991.html http://lists.bawug.org/pipermail/wireless/2004-January/028948.html in fact, read the whole thread, starting about here: http://lists.bawug.org/pipermail/wireless/2004-January/028922.html You *think* its "little difference", (and indeed, SVEAsoft wants you to think that), but how much RF engineering have you done? Despite the gross illegality of this hack (which, btw, clearly shows why Atheros won't "open source" the HAL, because people like SVEAsoft will just break every rule they want to, no matter which laws get trampled), its not going to give you any increase in range, should you find a way to hold the data rate constant. 802.11g is (typically) EVM-limited at the higher rates. You can only imagine what the error vector looks like when you push the PA into intermod (as clearly shown in the jpegs). I am, at this point, completely confident of what it takes to get a 200mW, 250mW or even 1000mW (1W) FCC legal system together, and you're unlikely to do it on a unit you bought for < $60. Ya see, I have this day job... I'm not flaming you, but I will bet a doughnut that you'll just blindly ignore me and run this "increased power" anyway, smugly satisfied that you've "beaten the man", and confident that you're getting 1/4 watt of tx power. jim My List Mail wrote: > with regards to wrt54g clean signal > ive seen this link > http://explorer.cyberstreet.com/wrt54g/WRT54g-spectraloutput.html > using sveasoft firmware, from the graph it shows little difference > compared to reall > 200mw device, though im not an expert on these.
