I'll second this one. Ed's talking about Software Defined Radio (SDR) which is basically where you have a computer addon, often a usb dongle, that works much like a sound card to convert computer generated digital output to an analog signal only instead of the output being in the form of audio, it's in the form of radio. With a dongle like this and the right software to drive it, you can do pretty much anything that can be accomplished with a radio signal including building your own ham radio, radio control, or even radio based networking. You can get a basic SDR dongle for about $25 and there's software to drive them available for raspberry pi (and I'm sure lots of other small computers and microcontrollers). Seems like a great fit for a HB.
Here's the cheaper one: https://www.amazon.com/JYETech-Source-Digital-Oscilloscope-pre-soldered/dp/B0195ZIURK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493921911&sr=8-2&keywords=oscilloscope
If anyone hasn't looked, depending on how old of a usb keyboard you have, it may work as a ps2 keyboard if you just rewire a usb-a connector.(I've got a bunch of these I got off of aliexpress at some point and may give it a try.)
and to tack on, it worked with the new chips, but was still noisy as hell.
I'm just going to pull the parts and rebuild it using this instructable on some perf-board. Grab some dual channel audio taper potentiometers for the volume.
