I'm reading now that bluetooth uses the 2.4Ghz band which is just |
| 13 |
about tapped out around here. My wireless keyboard and wireless |
| 14 |
network use it, and since I'm in an apartment there's no telling how |
| 15 |
many other people are doing the same, along with their microwaves and |
| 16 |
phones. Has anyone used a bluetooth headset in an environment with |
| 17 |
other devices utilizing the 2.4Ghz band? |
