I was also wondering about the pc cards with multiple antenna. Do they share the same circuit or they are seperate? Can they work at the same time? If they are not different circuit. Does it lower the transmit power since we would be transmitting to 2 antennas at the same time? Evren On Sun, 18 Aug 2002, M.
