mrf24j40 RF transciever with pic

what is the (reliable) range on zigbee?
what freq does it operate on?

Absolutely no idea...

If you're only interested in sending 8 bits, maybe a simple RX/TX setup would be better and less complicated. There are many examples available on this forum, and these examples have allowed me and others to learn how to transmit and recieve pretty prefectly different bits of information over RF. Make sure you check out Manchester Coding and other such protocols before you make up your minds

TLP434 tx on 434MHZ... the clue was in the part number........ This is part of the ISM band, basically used for everything from garage door openers to cordless phones to baby monitors to alarm keyfobs. It's a noisy world out there on RF land, so your choice of protocols will be important

Hello there,

I'd like to send small amount of data, one way only, from a measuring device to a distant display (like some indoor-thermometer with outdoor-sensor).

I was thinking about using some standart rf modules one can find in the internet; most of them are in the 433MHz range.

Apparently, the swiss regulation concerning frequency allocation prohibits the use of the 433MHz band; frequencies of 2,4GHz (I have to check this out) seem to be allowed.

Would the rf PIC be a good choice for this purpose?

My experience in rf equals almost zero...
