RF Design - RFD 868ux-EU Modem - Bundle
Code: RFD-Bundle-868ux-EU
Which RF Design Radio?
RF Design radios are now available in a range of options for different regions. You must choose the correct radio for your use.
Country locked radios Radios suffix
US - this is the 900 version of the radio designated for the US market and is FCC approved. Customers in the US should be buying this. It can be sold to other markets who are making drones intended for the US
EU - These are 868 EU certified radios and ship with a EU DOC, intended for the UK and EU market
AU - The 900 version for the Australian market, we do not stock these. RF designs is based in Australia, shop local!
IND - Is designed to be compliant in India for use in the 865-867Mhz unlicensed band The above radios are locked to the region
None locked The 868X and UX and 900X / UX these are intended for use with license holders, such as the 868X in the UK and a license from OfCom, or in countries without restrictions. We may ask you for proof of compliance or the order will be cancelled. For UK and EU customers choose the EU versions of the radios, for overseas please check local regulations.
New models
UX radios are a smaller version of the X radios and compatible as long as you are using the same frequency radio and the same settings.
The TXMod features the full size X radio, so it is also compatible with X and UX series of the same settings. The U and older + versions are not stocked, please use the latest X and UX versions

License free use in Europe, India
Interfaces:
RF : 2x u.FL RF connectors
Serial: Logic level TTL (+3.3v)
Power: +5v, ~800mA max peak (at maximum transmit power)
GPIO: General purpose IO (Digital, ADC, PWM capable).
Specifications:
Frequency Range: 866-869 MHz
Air Data transfer rates: 12, 56, 64, 100, 125, 200, 224, 500 and 750 kbit/sec (User settable, 64kbit default)*
UART data transfer rates: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800, 1M baud (User settable, 57600 default)*
*note these values are correct as of version 3.07 SiK firmware
Receive Sensitivity: >121 dBm at low data rates, high data rates (TBA)
Size: 25 mm (wide) x 33 mm (long) x 10.4 mm (thick) - Including RF Shield, PCB and Heatsink.

Mounting: Stand alone cable connection
Power Supply: +5 V nominal, (+3.5 V min, +5.5 V max), ~800 mA peak at maximum power
Temp. Range: -40 to +85 deg C
Software / GCS Support:
The software solution is an open source development called "SiK". It has been re implemented to suit the new processor architecture available on the 32bit ARM processor core. A boot loader and interface is available for further development and field upgrade of the modem firmware via the serial port. Most parameters are configurable via AT commands, Eg. baud rate (air/uart), frequency band, power levels. Integrated support for configuring the RFD900 radios is supported by APM Planner. The default settings are at 57600 baud, N, 8, 1, and 200k air data rate. The RFD868ux EU manual is here: RFD900ux Manual The RFD868ux EU SiK software manual is here : RFD900x Peer-to-peer Manual
Software features include:
Frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS)
Transparent serial link
Point to Point networking
Configuration by simple AT commands for local radio, RT commands for remote radio
User configurable serial data rates and air data rates
Error correction routines, Mavlink protocol framing (user selectable)
Mavlink radio status reporting (Local RSSI, Remote RSSI, Local Noise, Remote Noise)
Automatic antenna diversity switching on a packet basis in real time
Automatic duty cycle throttling based on radio temperature to avoid overheating
