433MHz Rx Help

Hi all,
This post is my first step with Arduino, so I wanted to ask about building 433MHz FM receiver and if it is possible.

I would like to attach a Radiometrix 433MHz Rx to an Arduino board but do not know which Arduino board(s) to use or even if the Rx and board are compatible.

I would also like to attach a 16x2 LCD sreen to the the Arduino Rx board that would display the NMEA GPS coordinate being received from a Radiometrix Tx.

And if I have not asked enough already, I see some of the Arduino boards have serial/usb connections. If the above is all possible, could I connect the Arduino Rx board via serial or usb to a computer to view it in something like Google Earth...either in real time or with an attached logger to the Arduino Rx board?

Thanks for your help.

Here is the link to the Rx TX2A - Radiometrix

Sorry for the double post...the forum would not let me post the link until I had one post.

Those Radiometrix modules look very similar to the RXB1 and RXB6 modules, which I use on the 433MHz receiver shield:

Connecting the receiver to the Arduino should be easy. The software side, on the other hand, may be more challenging, depending on what signal you're trying to decode.

That shield linked above is from a 433MHz receiver project in the book "Practical Arduino", which includes details of how to decode signals from LaCrosse weather stations:

Thanks for the response Jon,
The signal would be:
Serial Input (4800 bps 8N1) (from GPS Engine)
Serial Output (4800 bps 8N1) (for later appl for NMEA output)

Thanks for the links.

the application u r working on seems to be a real-time app. I have worked on the TX/RX 433 MHz modules. but they can not work with real-time facility at high data rates. you are trying to transmit map or something, it won't work. But i have used those chips for simple Temperature sensor values transfer.

I will be using it to transfer the latitude and longitude and associate NMEA data only at an interval of 2 seconds. All the information I need to transfer fits on a 16x2 LCD module.

Basic Setup
GPS antenna>>Tx--->Rx>>Display

than its completely okay. go ahead with it. works fine within 50 feet ranges. i also have got the codes ready if u r willing to have.
