(1ch & 4ch models) and was wondering about how well do they work? Was even

thinking about trying one out with a PC Electronics 20watt amps. for greater

range.


I am alone in my area in ATV as of this date but have a few takers for

watching if I can get something going they might go further into it. As well

as was looking into them as a static camera for walk-a-thons posted along

the route at a point near the finish. >>

The Videolynx 434 or Z70A is great for short distance line of sight 
applications such as at races.  We have done it at marathons and half 
marathons up to 1/2 mile away (with 5 element beams) so that the announcer at 
the finish line can have some one look up the persons name from the race 
number list.  Really perks them up to hear their name as they try to look 
good sprinting that last 100 yards to the finish line.
