i would pick some CF card, they generally draw less power than a
PCMCIA. (not because of the size, but because PCMCIA is often using
older technology/chipsets)

i think this one might be a good pick:

an external receiver has many other good features that a card might not
have.
also, a used receiver might prove better value.
