RF Modules

Ah, call it the joy of electronics!

Firstly, apologies for dragging up this post yet again!

I too am having trouble with this module. I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't get anything to be received. Is anyone who has got this working prepared to help me out? There are so many contradictions and instances of vague language in the 'data sheet' that it seems amazing anyone has got this working!

I am using a PIC16F88 USART to transmit to one module and I'm reading the other with an arduino. When I send serial data to either module, the busy LED lights. Everything looks good. Pins 7 and 8 are pulled high, 5 and 2 are grounded and everything is running on 3.3V. I'm definitely running at 19200 baud rate and I'm using true rs232 (i.e. normaly high, when data sent goes low). However, I've been trying for almost a solid day now and the busy LED of the other module has never flashed in response to receiving transmission from another module.

I've tried setting the transmission frequency but the data sheet is so vague that frankly I could have been doing anything.

Any ideas? Thanks!
