2400MHz...

[Jordan <stryder@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey everyone-

Just a couple of quick questions... I am interested in getting a setup
for 2400MHz sat
uplink and downlink...

1.) What are the atmospheric losses like at such a high frequency?
2.) How high are the dangers of exposure to RF radiation at this
frequency?
3.) Is it absolutely necessary to have a downconverter at the preamp...?
If so, to what
     frequency is appropriate?
4.) With 4 stacked 30 element yagis, and low loss coax, what is an
appropriate
      transmitter power out level? Or is a parabolic dish more sensible
at these sort of
      frequencies?
5.) Is there much equipment made by reputable manufacturers at this
frequency?

Sorry about the swag of questions... ;)  Thanks to everyone in advance
for your replies...
God bless!


Regards,
Jordan
