I must say I agree with the assessment by KB9MWR regarding the so called high speed digital data.
You have the speed about right- 90kb or so. It is half duplex. We are big fans for DD mode for several reasons
1. Zero interference
2. Huge power output (legal 10+ watts)
3. Good RF design- we run muliple units side by side all day long
4. Fine for web /data applications (no support for bidirectional streaming)
5. Zero analog adjustments needed
6. Security through obscurity (boring to hackers)
7. Designed for long range (routine 20 mile + hops)
There are up and down s meters on the unit, and a ping -t run for a few minutes gives you an excellent view of path quality. As an ISP replacement DD mode is a poor substitute for 802.11g/n etc.
