Hi.
I’ve just bought a Holybro 500mW Transceiver Telemetry Radio V3.
How the 500mW (27 dBm) output power is set ?
When i try it by setting with a 27 dBm value in SIK radio setup of my Mission Planner, i get an error message.
Is it caused by a Mission Planner’s SIK radio config form limitation ?
May i use AT commands or other way to set 500 mW output power ?
Thanks in advance.
Miguel.
Those radios supposedly have a fixed gain stage on the output of a standard amplifier. So set it for 20dBm and if they are honest you get 500mw out.
Ok. I’ve figured out something like you are talking about. Better this way then.
Thank you very much Dave.
Miguel.
Same question here again: Mission planner allows me to set TX power to 20 max. This is the same value for some other version 2 SiK radios that “only” have 100mW.
Is there a way to verify the radio run at 500mW?
Powerwise this still should be fine, right? (at 5V this would require 0.1A)
Note: interesting discussion here.
Same answer. That discussion is all you need to know. The joke is that if those radios are trailed on a long tether behind the craft the noise they produce will be minimized…
the main problem with the 433mhz sik radios is most of them used usb chips that essentially jammed the radio from receiving, 900mhz is not effected by this issue.
can you elaborate? document it?
