2.3 Radio options
We can supply the 2.4 GHz version in an unencrypted version (our default option), or for domestic customers we can
supply the encrypted version (at the moment this may require a somewhat longer lead time). We are working on
availability of encrypted versions for international customers.
We have also built a limited number of dual 2.4 GHz / 900 MHz radios (without diversity). Contact us for
availability if interested.
A 1.8 GHz version may be available in the near future.
2.4 Connectors

2.4.1
J1: Power Input
Power input uses a wide input range efficient buck-boost converter (Typical efficiency ~94%). Input voltage range
is 5-58V (note for full RF power radio operation the minimum voltage may be limited to about 7-8V). Short pins 1,2
and 3,4 together for full current capacity.
Mating connector is a JST PA series latching connector:
Mating Connector: JST PAP-04V-S
Contacts: JST SPHD-001T-P0.5
(Current rating is 3A per pin)
