RX1

VHF Narrow Band FM Receiver

Frequency:Standard: 151.300MHz, 173.225MHz & 173.250MHz

The TX1 and RX1 form a miniature VHF radio transmitter/receiver pair designed for PCB mounting and suitable for extended range data links at speeds up to 10kbps. Link ranges of 10km+ are achievable with suitable choice of data rate and antennas.

vailable for licence-exempt operation in the UK 173MHz bands, the TX1 & RX1 modules combine effective screening with internal filtering to minimise spurious radiation and susceptibility thereby ensuring EMC compliance.
