I've developed a radio version of Mike Hewett's first wired RS-232 packet sniffer.
Called RTCSnoop, it monitors the radio communcations between the Remote and TIU
and logs the packets to PC using the Arduino IDE Serial Monitor (or any terminal emulator).
To decode these packets copy/paste them into RTC's TIU buffer using RTC's debug mode.
Then from the TIU Buffer's context menu, click on "Decode Strings in TIU Buffer". This will
put the decoded strings into the CRC Buffer. You can copy and paste or save them from there.
You can leave comments in the logged packets to reminder of what button you just pushed.
In the serial monitor just type a note to yourself and press [Send]. A note could be something like "Press the Startup button".
RTCSnoop - panStamp version
RTCSnoopE - Infiduino/ElecHouse CC1101 version
You can get the source code as well as the binary XLoader version on the OOK web page
http://www.silogic.com/trains/OOK_Radio_Support.html
If you use the XLoader version, you can use any terminal emulator to capture the packets. I've used Termite:

with success. Set the baud rate to 57600.
