Can I use Air-Band in my home or office if I use a Wireless Network there?

AirBand - Wireless Broadband Internet Access
Yes, although Air-Band uses the 2.4 GHZ frequency band. Our equipment uses a frequency hopping system which means that data is sent by a different frequency every 50th of a second. If the signal finds a frequency that is being used by another device (e.g. your wireless network) it will simply 'hop' to another unused frequency. The equipments 'intelligence' means it will soon 'learn' which frequencies are occupied by your own network devices and will know not to try to use them.

The signal seems a bit weak out of the DSP-30. What could be the culprit?

Frequently Asked Questions
The DSP-30 might be configured that way, with insufficient gain or less-than-optimum filtering in the signal paths. Use Signal Manager to check—and if necessary, correct—the situation. The DSP-30's inputs and outputs are active balanced. But if you run unbalanced interconnections between it and the other audio equipment, make sure that you use the non-inverting input and output terminals (pin 2) for the signal connection, and connect the inverting terminals (pin 3) to ground.
