[NSRCA-discussion] RE: 2.4 Ghz radio

[John Ferrell]

My laptop(wireless), cordless phone, security monitor and microwave oven are 
operating at 2.4G at my house.
The only one that always wins is the microwave oven. punching the "channel 
change" key on the phone is sometimes necessary. The laptop and the security 
camera come back on line shortly after a hit. It will be a while before I 
play with Blue chips on 2.4G.
