[McHUG] TX Modules Need Further Inspection

[Pat Kilroy]

Hi Steve,

I more than loaned you the module, forgive me 
for the poor communication.  Consider it yours.  
But remind me *which* module or modules you have ...  

The TX433 is the flea power unit, 10mW output max.  
The TX433B module features 500mW but of course it 
comes with a "more battery" mass requirement.  (I 
always loved Rich's brilliant "double coin cell" 
idea in the original PICetSat module, so I won't 
give up on the smaller transmitter.)  

The B version also adds an extra pin, the E/D Pin, 
to Enable and Disable the xmtr itself or the audio 
input pin.

MAIN POINT
I will give you, Rich and Pete either one or both 
types before I head to Eight Land for the holidays 
if you think you may have time to experiment with 
them and learn more about them.  After all, the 
spec sheet is lacking and customer support does 
not seem to exist.  We need more insight on these 
little devices!  

Guys, please let me know what you think of my 
offer.  I must get them to you soon.  

Cheers,

Pat
