I guess I cold have been a bit clearer. As usual, I am as dense and mud.
What I was/am looking for is a hands free system. A cell phone with
blue tooth wold work if I can get an ear piece and boom mike that I can
put in my helmet. Next is maybe a hands free telecomm system via a peer
to peer web based system. That would perhaps also permit some data
transfer capability where data could be put directly into an excel
table. Most N speed systems with range extenders should be able to
cover plus and minus three miles if the antenna is in the pits
somewhere. Maybe a VOIP tele system on each end of the system: car and
tow? Or something different. Data would require an antenna and the in
pit host computer would need to be able to log onto the in car data system.
Just exploring possibilities here on the data system.
