Stumbling Kit

The Air-Stream Stumbling kit is available to Air-Stream members to use for site surveys. The kit is maintained by Shawn and is available for loan to members at his discretion.

The kit includes everything needed to do a basic site survey:

• Handheld PDA with wireless card and stumbling software
• 14 dBi "Yagi" style antenna
• Appropriate pigtail, coax leads and connectors
• PDA docking bay, AC adapter and car charger

Bookings can be made by contacting the committee (committee at air-stream dot org.) The only thing to remember is that you will be responsible for lost or damaged equipment.

The antenna is a Yagi style antenna which can be used in vertical or horizontal polarisation and is simply pointed in the direction you wish to stumble. Other antennas can be used with the PDA, however your antenna must have either a RP-SMA male or N female connector to connect to the pigtail in this kit.

If you can stumble a site with this kit, it is fairly certain that a permanent connection could be made with a good antenna and wireless equipment.
