Radio Frequency IO

MICREL wireless chips, 300 mhz AM only and you only need a ceramic resonator and a few outboard parts-they are cheap, use low power and run at 3 Vcc. They are made for data transmission up to 300 feet.

The fractional divider doesn't have enough resolution to produce more than ~6 bit audio, but since the PI is very fast, we can do oversampling to provide about 9.5 bit audio by using 128 subsamples per real audio sample."+
