(meteorobs) General OT question....RADAR accuracy.

[Larry]

Hi Dave.

I did, but uWave stuff is expensive even to build ourselves. Suitable 
receiving modules with right bandwidth & frequencies and a (HUGE) high gain 
antenna array are beyond the prudent income allowed me by my XYL and it 
would result in all the dogs in the neighborhood barking at it from sheer 
ugliness....after I was divorced.

No question a licensed transmiter with a good microwave spectrum analyzer 
and all the couplers would be ideal......
