This is the smallest of the higher power VHF multichannel radios. It is a 500mW capable transceiver in a compact 67 x 30mm PCB mounted footprint. This is a highly capable multichannel design (using a low phase noise PLL frequency synthesizer, combined with high rejection crystal and ceramic channel filters in the RX path)
The feature rich user interface provides:
QPX1 and QPT1. Even higher power
The QPX1 transceiver (and the accompanying QPT1 transmitter) take the basic functionality of the SHX1 and add a highly reliable 2 watt LDMOS transmit output stage. These units can be supplied in either a standard PCB mounted tin-plate (NS106) screen version, or a more robust, extruded aluminium housing/heat sink (ideal for chassis mounting) with D15 user and SMA RF connectors
The user interfaces (either pinned or the D15 type) provide comparable functionality to the SHX1, while also adding an analogue baseband input to the transmitter, and (QPX1 receiver) an RSSI level operated mute/squelch for easier operation with either tone or voice signals
And more
To simplify implementing a wireless solution based on these modules, the firmware in the SHX1 and QPX1 includes a simple yet effective radio modem sub system, which can be selected (or disabled) by a user command.
In “modem” mode the module operates as a fully transparent (half duplex) RS232 compatible data link at 1200 baud, and is compatible with other Radiometrix “i1200” modem enabled products (including the NBEK, and the whole TR1M/ TX1M/ TR1M lower power module family). The QPT1 transmitter requires only an external i1200 compatible chip, while all of these radios can be used with either the M48 modem or the CTA88 controller devices.
