    What data sheet?

    After scrolling through the first link that Joe found...

    These things look to be set up before use?

    Michael,
    do you have the software and did you go through the setup?

    They are the xstream x24-009nsc and I looked everywhere for a baud setup but it doesn't show anything.

    It looks from the literature that you just give it data and presto. ?

    I know it takes 1200 baud and a broad range of data rates.

    I tried taking CTS low and nothing but I don't think you need to do anything except give it +5v, ground and the serial data....it's xcvr so it has data in and data out pins.

    Have a nice stubby Linx antenna on both....they're very well made modules....but they AIN'T WORKIN' as goober would say.

    In a hurry today -- seems there may be some software and a setup board involved with these -- and a default baud rate?

    If anyone runs across this thread and is familiar with these Maxstream xstream modules, I'll be grateful for any timesaving help you can supply.

    THANKS kindly.

    Depending on your application, you might consider trying the Digi Xbee modules. They are super small with excellent range and built in encryption and error checking. They operate in the 2.4ghz band under the Zigbee protocol, 802.15.4. All you do is add 3.3v power, serial TX/RX lines from your pic and you in business, it's that easy. They also use free Digi software(X-CTU) to make any config changes, although they work at 9600 baud right out of the box. I have been playing with these for a little while and am very impressed.
