Serial Inverter and the parrallax 912 MHz RF Transceiver

[Rover]

I'm thinking about getting a pair of these transceivers to communicate from my prop-2 (located outside) to my PC. Initially I only need communication from the prop2 to the PC but don't want to exclude the other way later on. I'll probably write something in visual studio for the PC communication side.

Overall purpose is data logging to the PC, I'll write something in visual studio for the PC communication side.

1. Does anyone have experience with these units.. not too much on the parallax forums
2. Based on the product literature these are NOT PC compatible due to voltage, can I use the Serial Inverter for the PC to transceiver.

You should check with RFDigital (the manufacturer) to see if it's okay to tie the TxD and RxD pins together -- that would happen if you used the Serial Inverter.

After looking at RFDigitals  models I am also asking them if they have a PC compatible version that would communicate with the Parallax version.

or I could just get one of these

The TTL / CMOS To RS232 Converter I listed in the link on previous post  works just fine. Now able to communicate from PC to prop-2 using two of parrallax 912 MHz RF Transceivers.
