Right on.

That's because send/recv are on the exact same frequencies.

Probably pre-tuned. You just plug 'em into the calc and go.

Yes!

I don't think so right now. If you have three calcs, you'd need 3 differnt
freqs. You'd need a network router of sort. I don't want to get into that
now. So don't ask. Lets stick with the basics and get a working 2-calc link
going.
Chill,
