I guess that at such low powers, they're not concerned with splatter. There's always more than meets the eye. Thanks. ... Jerry -- Engineering is the art of making what you want from things you can get. �����������������������������������������������������������������������

It is? Usually satellite transponders are very expensive resources so control of adjacent channel energy (splatter) is critical. I've not heard of using such a system for satellite communications before. For a road-toll system it's probably not as bad since the range is short and the client equipment needs to be very low-cost. I dunno what sort of equipment is used for those, though. Eric Jacobsen Minister of Algorithms, Intel Corp. My opinions may not be Intel's opinions. http://www.ericjacobsen.org
