Getting on the 6cm microwave band

Looking at getting onto the microwave bands? Here's one way. The 6cm or 5.7 GHz amateur radio band is accessible to standard and advanced licensees in Australia. It’s the higher of the two WiFi bands that doesn’t seem to suffer the noise problem like its poor 2.4 GHz or 13cm cousin. Antennas are cheap and readily available in the form of dishes and panels. So if you’re keen to dip your toe into the microwave, then take a look at this video.

I have a Adalm Pluto SDR that can Transmit From 70 Mhz to 6 GHz, with SDR Angel Software,

Plutos are great Manuel. There are a couple of locals that have them.

Guess I need to pull my finger out and finish my transverter!

Plenty of time for that Heath, it's too cold out at the moment.
