Hi guys

I need to reverse engineering the RF receiver base on this IC, has anyone use this chip? Is it hard to use?? From what I can understand from the datasheet, if I built the circuit right (right frequency from the TX), I should be able to read the raw data from DATA OUT pin??

here is the IC:

Here is the TX, the antenna is very interesting, the outer track doesn't see to connect to anything, it looks like it couple the signal through the track next to C2????

If I understand this correctly, I think the pic just modulate the raw data to the oscillator, then send the signal to the antenna??? If the data is not encrypted, I should be able to read the data out from the receiver IC.
