Good wireless data error correction scheme?

Thanks everyone for the excellent input re: NMEA error correction.
However, I now have a new question:

I'm sending some data serially from stamp to stamp with those low power
wireless RF modules. If I disconnect the "receiving" stamp and look at the
output from the receiver in hyperterminal I notice alot of errors. Maybe
one in ten transmissions are error free. Is there a reliable scheme for
fixing this? I've considered discarding the garbled info but one in ten
seems awfully high. . .I know there are amateur packet radio protocols (ie.
AX.25) - do these address this? And would it be possible to implement such
a thing on a stamp?

all input appreciated, Duncan

    Hi Orthner,
    If you are using Ming rx/tx, I am not surprised. I tried the SAW tx and am
    rx; both the workmanship and performance were poor. Did not try the LC tx.
    I had much better performance with a tx/rx from Ramsey, but they were more
    expensive.
