Does anyone have experience in using a wireless 900 Mhz transciever? I'd like to use this to communicate between a laptop and a GAZ board.

The Blackbox product # is:

Also any advice on whether to use either the RS232 or the RS485 model for this application?

Thanks

We use the Maxstream radio modems all the time and have had great luck with them. Typically we will use the omni-directional pencil antenna on the remote modem and a small Yagi on the base. We also use just a 9v battery on the remote, but will plug in the base. With that setup we have gone up to a mile with no difficulty. I suspect in the right conditions you could go further, but we haven't had the need.
