If you're really hard-core, you'd invent your own data protocol with a error detection (and possibly error correcting) wrapper to ensure you're getting good data. You might get some ideas by studying my 2004 beacon code and transmitter circuit. A perfect transmitter waveform generator would be a EDU or Vex robot controller. Of course, if enough folks are interested, I'd be willing to help out.

Good idea!
