Hi mackrackit,

Thanks for that. Half a mile line of sight is a good distance. I think I'll order up the 433 transmitter and receiver modules.

I had a look at Bruce's programs (he's one clever guy) there's lots there to learn about.

Hey maybe I could start by transmitting how many Badger pictures have been taking during the night (if any) and send the data to my LCD. That would save having to take the camera away from the cable release mechanism every morning only to find no pictures have been taken and then re_assemble it the next night (all very fiddly).

Some more interesting stuff to learn about, RF, I like it
