don’t exceed that or else Ofcom will reach for the panic button the
Commercials will chuck all their Toys out of the Pram and you’ll be in
danger of broadcasting to more than one man and his Dog and we can’t have
that now can we ?? as it just wouldn’t be Cricket. Everyone else pleases

in the way) then a digital 5.8GHz link is the way to go. It gives you
ample bandwidth to deliver perfect uncompressed PCM (ie CD quality) audio - no
need for mp3, aac etc compression. <u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
