Hi Dick, Loannis,
I received the modules back on Friday just as I was leaving to have a few days away for the Holiday long weekend in UK.
They have been tested as OK but that doesn't relate as I couldn't measure any RF out when I sent them back. Never the less I believe Ciseco, so I'm continuing by etching two new pcbs with link pad outputs so I can link any pin to the module.
They should be complete today and populated. Then I will do more tests.
The speed issue came up so I'm running at 10MHz so 9600 should work reliably. As for True, well the Picaxe code sample seems to use N9600 but I seem to remember I didn't trust this. So I wrote a loop of serout/serin with all baud rates one after another for testing. I think I mentioned this earlier in the post. Ciseco claim any serial comms sent, will be echoed out. Their data sheet isn't any clearer.
I can use any pin/s so I will test HW serial and serout/in. Hopefully with some sort of result, as these are not my modules.
I do have access to a full professional RF spectrum test setup, however without serout/in comms working there is no point using it.
