I'm building a product to market that will use a simple Transmitter
and
Reciever like the Ming TX-99 & RE-99. The transmitter and reciever
will
only be as far as 5ft from each other.

My delima is how will be able to ensure that one system does not
interfere with another. (since each product will be operating @ the
same frequency)[noparse][[/noparse]This is assuming two vehicles are equipped with my
product and have both vehicles are parked next to each other] Is my
only option convert to a codehopping transmitter and reciever?

Trying to keep it cost effective, most kits on many of the hobby
sites
are rather costly and I will have no use for the enclosures they come
with.

Does your company build projects in large quanities for a finished
product?

    check out Laipac transceiver modules. small, inexpensive , and Ideal for
    connecting to a BS1. I'm using the 8 chan TRF-2.4 Ghz with an wireless home
    alarm system. with a distance of a few hundred feet it works great for me.

    each channel is 1 mhz apart to keep from interfering with each other. If
    they really got to be on the exactly the same frequency. you could always
    simply use an assigned address scheme. Kinda along the I2C protocol scheme.
    This way you could still have a lost cost transceiver and fairly simple
    programming.

    also Holtek Semi conductors makes a very low-cost encoder / decoder chip
    pair that has a billion different addresses using the same frequency. the
    chip is called HT-12D / HT-12E. Hunter Fans uses them in their remote
    controls.
