[plug] [OT] Eftel Radiowan

[Peter]

Generally wireless is fairly good, well i do agree with your 
posibilities of bad weather (to some degree). 

Although i've been using 2.4gz stuff for a while and really have had no
problems except for line of sight (radio not optical). Weather wise
its extremely robust.
