Transmit signal generation
Options: a) Update software to output a B/B Transport stream (post error correction coding). b) Use existing I/Q outputs and quadrature modulator to produce a quasi-B/B signal. c) Down-convert 'ugly' output to produce a quasi-B/B signal.

Limit of reliable decode
Extrapolation from 30m Test path:
0.75mA LED current up to 750mA (+30dB) = 0.9 km Addition of A4 size Fresnel lens = approx +30dB ie, potential range of just over 30 km
