My main concern is how you communicate over RF. What type of signals do you use from a PIC or do you need a chip to convert etc?

Hay guys im looking at building a RF based circuit which uses one remote to activate timers on several different timers. I have a few different concerns.
Firstly i have never used RF before so im looking for some guidance. Im planning on using a PIC programed in basic pro to drive the circuits and the first question is how easy is it to use RF to activate circuits with a PIC?
Also if this is do able then would it be easy to use a transciever on both ends to do a "status" on the remote circuits?

Also im new to using LCD displays and im just wandering if theres anything other than the PIC with its usual coding and the LCD display which you need to display characters?

Check my tutorial about RF modules, or you could buy modules with encoding/decoding already built-in, which work in a similar way.
