Hi,

I'm new on here and will post my 'newbie' post in a moment.
I thought I'd post in response to this first though.

I asked a question about precisely this (i.e. using US RF modules
(310Mhz) in the UK (which are normally 433Mhz) on the uk selfbuild
list around 45 minutes ago ;-p

These pirs are _very_ cheap in the US compared to here, even when you
factor in postage.
Okay, so they aren't officially approved, but are there any
interference problems ?

How easy is it to modify US 110v modules to run on 240v (I recall
seeing an article on this some time ago, but forget where).

Cheers,
John.
