A couple of weeks ago I mentioned in 150712 MMDigest that I was looking
for a pair of wireless MIDI units.  One source mentioned Panda "midiBeam"
units, manufactured by Elektromedia Ltd.  Visit  http://pandamidi.com/ 
and  http://www.panda-audio.com/midibeam.php 

I ordered a set of those and they arrived today (after two weeks).  The
transmit unit has an on/off switch and is powered by size AA batteries.
The receive unit is powered by 5 volts via a mini-USB connector.  I used
a phone charger for that side.

The system worked very well at 50 feet.  I did not try beyond that
distance.  The cost for the pair was 144 euros.

Thanks to all who responded.
