I took a look around our local electronics store yesterday, but they only had CB radio and 2.4 and 5Ghz antennas. I may need to look around ebay. The receiver unit to be connected to Cumulus and a server is about 4 meters and though a window to the Transmitting unit. So maybe a couple of lengths of wire cut to the wave length would work. The one for inside will have to have an antenna though, as it has to go through multiple walls and about 10 meters.
I've been looking at breadboarding the RX unit while I wait for the PCB's to be manufactured and posted, but it looks like a job beyond my means. Looking to use the smarts of Eagle (Fritzing looks good but missing components) to do bread boarding or strip board is beyond my experience, so I'll just wait till the boards arrive and keep experimenting like this

Maybe I can help with that manual, from a newbies point of view. I'll try to document what I do, but I'm terrible with documentation, like most people
Thanks again Werk_AG!
