Anyone know about the compatibility of high-voltage DC systems and 802.11b?
The gear itself will be running on 120VAC via an inverter, but 600VDC/300A
creates a strong EM field that messes with a lot of off-the-shelf RF gear
and even some non-RF electronics.

The best wireless resource I know of is the part-15 list. Check it out at
wisp () part-15 org

Most 802.11b gear is not built to be very robust and tends to break down
when high EMI is around. Personally, the gear is cheap enough that I would
just give it a try.
