After reading all the posts on the FM solutions, I've been wondering =
if anyone has had any experience with the 2.4Ghz A/V repeaters? These =
are found at Radio Shack (X10, etc.) and are only ~$100(pre-assembled). =
This would negate any problems with too much power and the FCC. But, =
how well do they work?
Thanks=20
