The TXM-433LC is what I use, along with my 70cm handheld, and a cushcraft 6-element YAGI.

Linx has some nice modules, and you can get them through Digikey.

I have built a TX and RX using their modules.

What kind of range do you get with a simple whip in the TX Marcus?

Hows it work? you just doing location, or did you whip up a sensor to alter tone? if so what sensors have you done?

With the ERA-3 MMIC to boost the output power, about 1km.
