Limits on Simultaneous Links 

Each transmitter needs bandwidth and there might also be a lot of other devices like Wi-Fi using the same frequency 
band. It’s not recommended to use more than 4-6 transmitters on the same site. 

There is no limitation for the number of receivers linked to a transmitter.
