I am New to R/F data transfer and I am looking for a way to attach a receiver above ground .And transmit video from a burrow of a ground hog and other vermin below ground to a receiver that would show thru video what is going on underground . The depth would be as deep as 25-35 feet underground and the monitor would be above ground . Any ideas how I might accomplish this ?

You should really Froogle 'wireless video'. I picked up a scary little unit that was in the 2.4GHz free band, the transmitter was about the size of a stack of nickels, and the range was frightening. $70 I think I spent.

This is a much easier way then trying to create your own protocol or your own hardware.

Hi, I'm looking fo a cheap long range transceiver, what brand was the unit you purchased? I tried froogle but was swamped with TV AV units.

Cheers, Michael

maybe all you need is a small camera, IR with IR light source, battery powered, RF transmitter.

Try SuperCircuits.com

or a low quality X10 wireless cam (really low), plus your own IR light source.
These cams are the worst that China offers. But cheap.
