Thanks to everyone who answered, it's all been very helpful indeed. Think I 
will grab some of the superhet modules Michael mentioned, also gonna grab a 
couple of the MC zigbee modules too (at the very least for general learning 
purposes and in case a more complex version is needed later - already been 
talk of a remote temperature monitor for greenhouse that sends temp back to 
PC for graphing and triggers a servo to open a window - slightly different 
beast which may appear in different thread at some point :-) ). Commencing 
the test IR circuit Olin mentioned today while waiting for RF stuff, and 
hopefully I'll have a working model in the next few days, time and other 
projects permitting.
