OK, I see what you're up to. SHF Microwave has gunnplexers, etc. The
website is at http://www.shfmicro.com/ I believe you will need two
gunnplexer modules and two I.F. receivers of some sort to run full
duplex. Most people running WBFM on 10 GHz use an I.F. of either 30 MHz
(to be used with an HF rig) or 100 MHz (to use a standard AM/FM radio as
the I/F. rig. That's the way I ran mine back in the 90's). Hope this
gives you a starting point...
The current Model Altitude record is about 7K ft.
I'd like to do 10K and with some wind it could easily get several miles down range.
Thus 20 miles to have some margin.
