Does anybody have any RF Module suggestions?
I have a SX that I need to talk to about 200' away indoors.
I have to send it 128 bytes every 1mS.
I am currently sending data at 900k.
Has anybody worked with any reliable radio chipsets at this range with this data rate?
Please help.· I am lost on the internets.

SelmaWare has a variety of adapters and SparkFun has a "breakout board" as well.
I've used the shorter range xBee between a Mac and both a Propeller and a Stamp.
Once you configure it, it powers up as a wireless serial channel although there are
other modes you can use. Since it uses a packet network protocol, all communication
is error checked internally.

I just re-looked at your data rate requirement. The xBee isn't quite fast enough.
How about using WiFi and Telnet?
Here's one vendor: www.digi.com/products/embeddedsolutions/digiconnectwime.jsp
You might be able to use a directional gain antenna to improve the range and they're more
readily available as a mass market product than some special purpose system.
