5.8 GHz A/V Transmitter & Receivers

[IDOXLR8]

I need some good input on a I thought would be an easy problem but finding it to be challanging. I need to transmit a A/V signal a short distance in my attached garage. I tried a 2.4 GHz Radio Shack A/V transmitter/sender and at times has big time interferance via wireless phones, internet, and microwave ovens. Does anyone offer a reasonable priced A/V system that works in the 5.8GHz range? I have seen the RF Link AVS-5811 ( 5.8GHz) and read many problem with this model as far as failing shortly after put in to service and performance issues. I did many internet searches and have seen nothing but RF Link being offered. Are there any other systems to send two audio (L&R) and one video signal at 5.8GHz? Thanks in advance, AL.

Now getting in the range of terrestrial MBell, point to point links, as well as slice of C-Band satellite, extraterrestrial uplinks. Parts can be had but, I know of no canned "out of the box solution. But to be fair, I have not been following that technology lately. Certainly can be done! Interference issues sometimes, depending upon location can cause out of band/in band interference, or TI! Have you tried sheilding/blocking/isolating? What about the RF Link service dept. Surely they are aware of problem!

Sorry but this may prove interesting/challenging for home use products, as this product I see now is having problems:

I have used these with some success: http://www.smarthome.com/8210.html

And then there is this, which I used back in ther 80's. It was banned ? by the FCC and unavailable, but is tamer ?now. & I suppose is cool:

Hello I have been trying to do somewhat the same and just came across www.Kleer.com that possibly has a solution. Still trying to get info on this but have a look at the site and see if it might do the trick for you. Not sure about the video problem.

How much money do you want to spend, or are willing to spend? Can you run a single cable betwen the locations? I can post links tomorrow of devices to send stereo and video over signle Cat5 network cable, much rather than you would probably have in your home. A small box on each end.

These guys have little boxes to use cat4 cable to extend audio and video (various video topologies, i.e., composite, y/c, component) 150 feet plus.

Bruce, thanks for your follow up! As far as $$$$, some thing reasonable under $200.00. I have seen the devices boost the signal for A/V cable going over 100 feet. I thought about going that route but blowing anothe hole in a concrete block foundation in some thing I'm trying to avoid. The signal only needs to go 30 feet, AL.

I certainly understand that. And the price is a litle over your $200 mark....[:^)]

Bruce, thanks for your follow up! How much is the system that you would recommend? AL.

I don't understand the 2.4/5.8 thing. The 2.4 was suppose to be one of the clearest signals then I find microwave ovens, cell phones, wireless computer transmissions interfear with the signal at 2.4. Why is there only one manufacturer marketing a 5.8 model (Terk)? Is a 5.8 a better option? Is there less on this wave length? Many questions I know but this is not my area of expertise, AL.

Any thoughts on this one (link)..... http://www.avtechsolutions.com/he_vstv1100.htm AL.
