Oatley Electronics have had some cheap 433 MHz serial transceivers in 
their sale catalog for a while.  I suspect they could be the basis for 
a serial terminal.

Is it worth looking at solar cells to supplement the battery life on
the Sharp when used for driving serial ports?  (We get enough sun here,
but how do they go in the UK?)
