oh man! if only i’d seen this article about six months ago, i was having a horrible troubles getting my rf functionality calibrated and compliant with fcc standards, and like alan and the author, i ultimately had to turn to an pre-made solution, in my case it was linx technology’s lr series long range communication modules. they were super easy to integrate and work consistently, and additionally, i am looking into their high security rf encoder/decoder ics for an encrypted wireless link. i’d like to see an article written on how to do that. anyway, thanks for the great article.

Nice article, I feel the same way about RF. I am happy to just buy the communication technology that someone smarter than me designed...

In addition to Sparkfun Rentron is also a useful resource

you said it twistedsymphony.

wow. The mind reels. RF control is awesome, especially when you can use passive methods like tuned or directional antennas to improve range.
