On the datasheet for one of the receivers it claimed ranges to over 100
meters.  I ordered a few sets from Mouser to play with, so I'll let you know
when they get here if you're still interested.  I'm actually hoping they'll
be good for (probably crappy) short-range voice data transmission, like for
distances you might normally just speak to someone (< 100 feet).

The ones I ordered are on/off keying, so I'm hoping they'll be good enough
to transmit limited audio through some sort of pulse-width-modulated scheme.
Any ideas?
