exempt rf
I have decided to undertake a project in which I wirelessly connect computers in my local area. While I know I can easily purchase units, the whole idea is the learning experience. So my main question is: What licence-exempt RF would be the best for a range of approximately ±3-5km. I know the one range is the 418-433MHz band, but I heard from I friend (I don't know how reliable he is) that you can get an extremely far distance with 408MHz (but this is outside the licence-exempt range). I know that the type and length of the antenna used will also have a great affect on range and help in this regard would be appreciated as well.
