The frequency of the RCX's IR does not change at all:
"
The RCX uses a 38kHz carrier, which is pretty typical for TV remotes. As for
the sampling rate, the RCX runs at 2400 bps, which makes each bit approx 417us
"

I think the only way you could have them send and receive at the same time,
is somehow have them set to two different frequencies.
If you had the RCX listen at the same time that you are sending, you will
receive the data you are sending.

IR is in reality a frequency defined from A to B. any messages sent within this spectre is said to be IR messages. so in theory sending an IR message closer to A than B from one RCX. and at the same time sending (...)
