Overview
This Holybro SiK Long Range Telemetry Radio is a small, light, and inexpensive open-source radio platform with an extended range compared to the standard model.
This radio is plug-and-play, ready for all Pixhawk Standard and other similar flight controllers, providig the easiest way to set up a telemetry connection between your controller and a ground station. It uses open-source firmware that has been specially designed to work well with MAVLink packets and to be integrated with the Mission Planner, Ardupilot, QGroundControl, and PX4.
The radios are available in 915 MHz.
FCC ID: 2BNF8-HT051WRF915 (100mW, 915.06~927.04MHz)
