low-cost RF transeivers?

Started by Doug Metzler November 19, 2005
Anyone found a good source for low cost RF transceivers? I'm able to find
good discrete transmitters and receivers, but as soon as I look for a
transceiver the price jumps to $100.
Thanks,
DougM


Try this, otherwise go to Digi-Key and search for "RF" then scroll
down to "High Frequency and Low Frequency devices." --- In basicx@basi..., "Doug Metzler" <dougm62@c...> wrote:

Check http://www.sparkfun.com. They have trancievers for $20+ that
transmits at 1Mbps.

I have just bought a few to test.

These look really good - I'm going to go ahead and order a couple of the
RF-24G's. I'll let you folks know how they work.
Thanks!

Whoops, changed my mind - going with the RF-UM96
These look to be a lot easier to interface than the other ones.
Thanks,

I didn't know Part 15 devices were allowed in the 70 cm amateur
band. Reliability might be an issue, particularly if used anywhere near my
home ;)

Interesting - so you're saying that devices in the 433/434 MHz range are
infringing on amateur radio space? Do you think there's an exception for
devices that are under a specific power rating? Because the other
transmitters/receivers I've gotten have been from www.rentron.com
<http://www.rentron.com/> and they are also in the same frequency range
(plus 315 MHz), so I just assumed it was legal use. I can't imagine that
multiple vendors would be selling products that were not FCC legal?
Thanks,
DougM
