The Ubiquiti WiFi stuff is inexpensive and good. A couple of NanoStations could do your 2 mile hop, for the 9 mile go with AirGrids or NanoBridges. I hear the HP Thin Clients on eBay for around $20 have no fans, no hard drive, and they have a sold state memory that takes a dd load of Limey. Friends don't let friends do USB on a hilltop. If you can find PCI radio cards use them. Or go with RTCMs. -- Tim :wq On Aug 27, 2013, at 8:30 AM, Tom King <ka6sox@gmail.com> wrote:

I can put a wifi link between them (2 mile shot across a saddle)
Primary use is Standalone repeaters but Cross connecting and linking to buildings without good visibility to the sites very likely.
They are only 7 and 9 miles away but take at least 2hrs to get to.
(I've inherited these in the last 48hrs and want to unify control and linking)
I just started with allstar about 3 weeks ago so I'm not fully up on what can be done
So I guess the questions are:
1. What (relatively) Cost Effective way to do this?
2. if I have good power for the computers (run them off of a 12v battery) and reasonable computer hardware would Limey work? (I don't like spinning things on mountaintops if I can avoid them as they fail at the most inopportune times)
3. a bunch of URI's or use PCI radio cards?
Thanks
