You can have a look at a demo I did a few years ago (when PICs were
on the up and up) to test the life of batteries.  This used a
16C54(JW) at 3 volts with a 4MHz resonator if I recall and would
send out data continuously for about 3 days from a pair of N type
batteries (Half AAA) with an incrementing counter.  The code was
raw ASYNC data that I would feed into a PC with a SHARP integrated
receiver and a OPamp inverter and I could then see what was the last
sequence number.

You can have a look at the code made to assemble with the early
PICALC but should be adjustable :-)
