Bump it to LA

Need i mention we need it here too. Only tho we need a better deal and not some skunk royal mail package charging us 4 £/delivery. BASTARDS !

Do the Sony TR3s have a 5Ghz compatible antenna?  Just wondering after I read   .

Cheers

Yes it does. I’ve already run a 5GHz card in mine for over a year. Also know that in Japan, 802.11a was a feature on some of the earliest models. So, don’t worry…you’ll be able to use it just fine.

If I recall, Japan is pretty big on 802.11a.

Also, some of the earliest combo GSM/WiFi VOIP phones coming out support WiFi on 11a only, so if you’re lookiing to turn your TR into a travelling communications station via net access, it could work.

Lastly, with how much I travel and my need for net access, the more protocols my little TR can support, the happier I am.

Dumb question, but… do I need 802a? I already have a g router, which is 54 speed. Or is a newer than g, or gaining popularity in a big way?

depends on your needs .

802.11a is the same speed as 802.11g, but a uses the 5 GHz band while g uses the 2.4 GHz band. 2.4 GHz tends to be rather crowded with things like microwave ovens and cordless phones operating at the same frequencies and causing interference. g is by far the more popular than a in the US, mainly due to its compatability with 802.11b.

Just ordered mine… I guess this is the upgrade I was waiting for, instead of just b+g. This is also cheaper!
