problems that always seem to occur that causechanges in the design. One particular problem that occurred was the abundance of noisethat was present in the transmission medium. An anticipated benefit of using the Linxtransmitter and receiver combination was the assumption that noise would be minimizedbecause of the built-in coding and decoding schemes of these products. The cause of thisproblematic noise was the receiver’s very low noise floor. An unorthodox solution to thisproblem was the use of software to minimize noise during transmission. Another problemthat was encountered was the implementation of two different transmitter and receiverfrequencies. This turned out to be a problem because the main station PIC cannot polltwo lines at the same
