This Radio, by AirCables, is an RS-232 radio that have used a lot and that I love. It has only 10M range, but it is beautiful in terms of its performance. I have not done it myself, but the engineer at AirCables tells me that if you crack the case it has the ttl signals easily available on pins. Highly recommended.
