Best CC430 development board for 433MHz use? (DASH7)

Hello,

   DASH7 looks like a pretty good stack to use for 433MHz projects, and their primary platform is the CC430. I was a little surprised on TI's website to not see any decent CC430 development boards that support 433MHz. What development board would be best for developing code on the CC430 with 433MHz?

Personally I think that TI should make a CC430 based LaunchPad (one version 433MHz, one version 868/915MHz), that is pin compatible with the MSP430 LaunchPad. Also, I think it's in TI's best interest to push DASH7 a little more.

    The Chronos 433 kit is very special purpose, but it can be nice for some demonstrations.  The EM430 kit is better for development, but it is expensive, somewhat primitive, and only comes for 866/915MHz.  I think TI should simply have more kits for CC430, because it's a good part and there aren't many kits for it.

    I think I sent an email to you, but for other readers I will post this message:

    I I'm working on a CC430F5147 kit, targeted at 433 MHz.  The protoboards are coming to me this week, it is 30x60mm and has 2.54mm headers.  It will include an MSP430F5503 in addition to a CC430.  The CC430 is used as the OpenTag Module ("OM").  The MSP430 is the Gadget ("G") that gets used for USB connectivity, and it is firmware upgradeable for future things.  I want to get GoodFET on it, and maybe EasyMSP or other types of rapid prototyping packages that users can meddle-with and not worry about affecting the networking firmware on the CC430.  The board is called "OMG" for the reasons above, and I will post on http://www.indigresso.com when it is ready.  I will also try to update this thread at that time.

    I came across this technology today, and deems a perfect match to what I have been searching for. Though vague of its knowledge now, I will need an experience person to mentor me on the implementation. If I get a wireless sensor that support DASH7, how do I integrate it into an application written in Java?
