QUESTION ABOUT WIRELESS SIGNAL RECIEVERS!

I would look into long range wireless networks. But, you need line of sight for this to work. Cantennas pointed at eachother
mounted on poles might work. You can make the antenna out of Pringle Potato Chip cans. This is how I'd try to feed
several Rangemasters. Good Luck!

I saw a reference long ago to making an extended wifi antenna using now-defunct Echostar sat dishes. I wonder if that would be a workable solution with one of those audio or audio/video repeater systems. I believe Hamilton has an interface that connects to the video signal so you can send phase info to the transmitter to phase-sync Rangemasters together.
I've used this kludgy mod to a Primestar dish to get extended wifi range here in the boonies of northern Arizona.

Noting here that a little Rustoleum prevents that rusty can look.
Of course, Echostar continues to thrive on as main equipment maker for Dish Network.

That was the link I originally saw - thanks for digging it up, ironbear.
Of course my question is just how critical is finding the focal point with regards to the "cantenna-like" feedhorn? I have access to some older DirecTV dishes and would be interested in trying this just as an experiment.
