Robust Radio Communication Protocol

Well before I try it out i want to know if the rate is even in the ball park of what I need. Is the packet speed (for about 10 bytes) on the order of 1's 10's or 100's of Hz. I just need a ballpark within an order of magnitude, then I can do all the code to get specific. I don't want to put in all the work to get a packet sent every 3 seconds.
