        I haven't done any modifications to the Rabit.

        There is no activity that I know of in this area from
local hams on that band.  All the signals I have heard are Part15
devices.  I suspect they and the hams won't get along too well
because of the potential for harmful interference to each other.

        It could be that some of the digital garbage I here comes
from local area networks or LANS as well as the cordless phones
and similar stuff.  I think Radio Shack or somebody sells a
wireless LAN that operates using spread spectrum in that band.
Somewhere, I read a caution to people who have bought that
technology that the  encoding scheme used is not very secure and
you might end up with more access points on your LAN than you
dreamed of having.

        The wireless LAN technology we are deploying at Oklahoma
State University where I work is all in the 2.4-GHZ range and is
more Part15 equipment.

        It is all pretty interesting technology, but I don't know
much more than what I have told you about it.
