I would like to use this in two way communication between two computers with all the parts described-text to text.
Can I do this with 10 sets of 2 computers at the same time in the same room?
Is it capable of using 10 different frequencies, one different at each set of 2 computers?

Thanks

You will need 10 oscillators, each with a frequency that is far
enough away from the others that the receiver can block out all
but the frequency of choice. For an AM radio, the usual spacing
is 10 khz, e.g. 540 khz, 550 khz, up to 1600 khz. For your
purposes you might want to try wider spacing, such as 20 khz,
just to make sure there is no conflict.

Good choices would then be
1.6 Mhz
1.58 Mhz
1.56 Mhz
1.54 Mhz
1.52 Mhz
1.50 Mhz
1.48 Mhz
1.46 Mhz
1.44 Mhz
1.42 Mhz
1.40 Mhz
... etc.

You will want to avoid any frequencies that have strong local
stations transmitting on them.
