Hi - I'm using some Laipac "easy link" modules in a custom remote
control/home automation device for my house. I'm using the 433.92mhz
models, datasheet he

Can anyone give me any advice about how to design an antenna for this?
The
reciever will be embedded in an outside wall - so the antenna can be as
big
as it needs to be. The transmitter's antenna will be in a hand held
device
- so the smaller the better. Can anyone give me any tips as to how to
design this antenna? And sorry for cross posting - I wasn't sure which
of
these two newsgroups this question fit best. Thanks, and happy
holidays!

There is a directional yagi design @

Very useful for a hand-held device I *don't* think!

True! (But I've got big hands.......)
Hopefully it may be of use to others on the NG.
