The Pixhawk Radio Telemetry Kit is an amazing open - source radio platform. It's small, light, and budget - friendly. Right out of the box, it offers a range of over 300m, and with a ground - based patch antenna, you can extend the range to several kilometers. The radio runs on open - source firmware, perfectly designed to work with MAVLink packets and integrate with Mission Planner, Copter, Rover, and Plane. This kit comes with two radio modules, a USB cable, an Android adapter cable, two JST - GH cables, two right - angled RP - SMA connectors, and two 915MHz antennas. Each radio module has a 100mW transmit power, - 117dB RX sensitivity, and a 57600baud full - duplex transparent serial link. It also has a micro USB and UART port for easy connection. To use it, just plug one module into the Telem1 port of your Pixhawk4 with a provided JST - GH cable, and the other into the USB port of your base station. You'll have both modules connected in less than five minutes. Check the Documents tab for a full getting - started guide.
Using the Pixhawk Radio Telemetry Kit is a breeze. First, find one of the provided JST - GH cables and plug one radio module into the Telem1 port on your Pixhawk4. Then, plug the other module into the USB port of your base station. Just follow the on - screen prompts, and you'll have the connection set up in under five minutes. As for maintenance, keep the radio modules in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you want to extend the range, you can use a patch antenna on the ground. Remember to handle the antennas carefully as they are quite delicate.
