In case anyone is interested I recently purchased some cheap wireless modules for wireless communication and was able to use it with the pic to send info to each other.

I believe the transmitter is 5 bucks and the reciever is 8 bucks. they are from www.laipac.com. It is the 388-440 Mhz stuff. It says that they are good for about 200 meters and up to 4.8 kbp/s, i was only able to get it up 1200 baud. Not bad for such cheap units. I am not plugging this company, I have been looking around a long time for cheap wireless modules and i think alot of people would have interest in them. I have alo used "Ming" tx/rx modules before, but I think these are slightly cheaper and can offer more throughput.

I also purchased their 2.4Ghz transcievers for 19 bucks each, supposedly they can do about 250 meters at upto 1Meg/s. They seem pretty neat, I think you can use the I2C function from PBP to read and write data to them. they also got 128 selectable channels. I have not used them yet, but i have studied the datasheets, I think if these work like they are supposed to they will kick ass. Oh yeah they have very low power consumption, good for mobile apps where battery life is a concern. They do not have the datasheet for these online, you gotta contact them and they will send it to you.These were the cheapest 2.4ghz modules I could find anywhere.
