Hello, I didn't know in which forum to post this so I went to the general.

I'm very interested in wireless comunication, I've read a little and found out about ZigBee. I really liked it, I see a lot of potential in it.

The thing is I don't know where to start, I have saved up some money ($270 dollars) and I want to buy something to start testing.
I'm thinking about 2 areas, communications that go up to 1 mile in distance, and shorter distances, like 20-30 meters.

I was wondering which kit or products would help to get me started. I don't have any RF experience whatsoever. I want to use Pics+PicBasic Pro+ZigBee

If anyone could point me to some ZigBee product would be great. Thanks!
