Hi Jeff. We have used Dragon hand helds for label reading in Animal Feed Mills, which is to say the least is a rugged environment. They are very reliable and can I believe come with a radio link to their base station. They are easy to implement, with demo code for port I/O etc. They will read Bar Codes from thermal (for heavy label stock) and ordinary lazer printers. A Disti web site is www.dragon-solutions.com in the uk. Main Site www.Datalogic.com, They are Italian and quite big. but I dont doubt they are either linked to a US company or have representation State Side. The Disti also do RIFD solutions which may be of interest for your app.
