If you use a PCM radio the data rates are similar to say RS-422, which uses twisted pares and can transmit at 100kb/s for 1km. I'd better not use the RF path at all. -----Original Message----- From: piclist-bounces@mit.edu [mailto:piclist-bounces@mit.edu]On Behalf Of Recon Sent: Saturday, April 14, 2007 3:51 AM To: Microcontroller discussion list - Public. Subject: [OT] anyone experianced with model RC Xmit & rec. I have very limited knowledge of transmitters and receiver. We have a little remote device that we want to control underwater about 300 ft 100M.. Rater then re invent the wheel so to speak. If we could use one of these radio control sets that we have we would have75% of the project done. Here is the question: If we ran a wire from the transmitter antenna through an air line that has to go to the underwater unit and connected it to the receiver antenna, would that work?
