This form of communication is lacking in the emotional aspect of communicating. Without being able to hear the tone in someone's voice you don't know if they are being serious or sarcastic. Given that you just need to let it roll!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of us align ourselves with the above Bold Italicized word that is highlighted in red...Jeffthe point i am trying to make, most of us won't be kicking it into high gear until august so this is a slow time to be on a message board about Christmas lights. as such most if not all of us are gonna act silly, just a given.

kzaas Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I have another suggestion, Aerocomm makes a Connexlink 900mhz spread spectrum radio that I use a work for various applications and they work very well. They come in different configurations and the ones I use are for RS232 applications. They do make them for RS485 applications and the advertised line of sight range is 20 miles. You can setup different network topologies with them too, such as point to multipoint. So if I'm thinking right Your PC would be the point and each site that you want a controller would be your multipoints. The only drawback is that they are more expensive than ELL's at around $225.00.Here is a link to Mouser.com http://www.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=spvkMH2CltLdl996Vgzurw%3D%3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHolmes Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 Sweet! Thanks for the heads up I'll be sure to check out the specs for cases of extreme distance.I wonder what the transfer rate is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do a search for CL4790-1000-485-SP you can find the different configurations and datasheets for each. Unforunatly the datasheet link on Mouser.com is broken.

toddmoon Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I have worked with some Campbell Scientific data loggers and radio systems. There are a variety of radio systems out there depending on your needs and distance needed. I have some setup some to transmit over 20 miles. Line of sight is an issue but it can be over come with the right setup. I have even setup systems with modems to carry the signal over phone lines and then retransmit or download.http://www.campbellsci.com/search-results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
