You're welcome Steve,
Yup, that's one of them. I also used the other where you have to connect an external antenna.
The device has a digital RSSI register that can be read continuously. I never got to it in that last product where I was going to use for "clear channel search".
The code provided sets the transmitter modulation to 4 level FSK at +-39KHz deviation if I recall.

It can be configured to be a transmitter only, receiver only or switch between the two modes, it's up to you.
Your application is feasible, keeping air time management in mind to avoid transmission collisions, just like you would anyways with direct data connections.

Here's 1 data sheet on the RSSI you can go through. I couldn't upload the other because of it's size but can get it here.

Dave- What is TPM?
