Short Range with RDS

Post by bmzero »

I'm working on a small project idea and need some advice on where to start. I was hoping you guys could help.

What I need to do is broadcast a short string of text (maybe RDS) to multiple hand held receivers within a half mile radius. The receivers only need to receive and display the text (no audio). I need the ability to change this text at will and have it displayed on the receivers ASAP. Oh yeah, I need it easily mass produced and cheap just in case the idea actually works.

I really don't even know where to start. I'm a software developer, not a radio guy. :-)

I'm not asking you guys to do my research for me, but I was hoping you could point me in the right direction. I appreciate any information you can provide.


thanks,
