I am not sure what you are looking for, but I had some wireless video
projects where I needed
some small transmitters and cool stuff like that. I _finally_ found
somewhere to buy that stuff,
www.mscelectronics.com the guy there was very knowedgable, and got me
pointed in the
right direction. they have some really good quality 2.4gig fm video stuff,
and about a month
of my paychecks :)
