Ok cool. Thanks Gerald. Just to add to the discussion. I've used Tiny and cheap ( $.50 ea ) bluetooth dongles in the past, and they seemed to install / operate fine. Problem was they all had the same MAC address, and I could not find a proper work around. So communicating between two of these was not possible.
I would think that bluetooth would be more of a problem since it is similar frequency, just lower power. But I am not exactly a hardware / radio person.
