CONFIGURATION 

 

GENERAL 

#RADIO modules are configured through a WINDOWS application. 

*** Download Seagull_RADIO_config_v3.45.exe from 

HERE 

*** 

To configure the module simply launch the "Seagull RADIO.exe", plug in the USB cable into the radio and PC. Choose the PORT that 
the #RADIO is connected to on your PC and click "OPEN PORT". Next HOLD DOWN the button that is on the #RADIO to enter 
configuration mode and click "GET PARAM". Set your desired values and HOLD DOWN the button on the #RADIO module 

 then click 

"SET PARAM". All done now your #RADIO module is configured with your desired settings. 

 

SETTINGS AND VALUES TABLE 

 

SETTINGS NAME 

RANGE 

DEFAULT 

DESCRIPTION 

UART RATE 

Baud rate 

1200 - 115200 

115200 

Baudrate setting for communication with the interfaced device 

UART PARITY 

 

 

 

Parity 

8N1, 8O1, 8E1 

8N1 

UART mode can be different between communication parties 

AIR RATE 

 

 

 

Air data rate 

2.5 

 168kbps 

2.5kbps 

This setting can be ignored. Module will AUTO adjust. 

POWER 

 

 

 

Transmission Power 

21dBm 

 30dBm 

30dBm 

Transmission power setting ranging from 100mW to 1WATT. 

FEC 

 

 

 

Forward Error 
Correction 

Disable 

 Enable 

Enable 

If sudden interference occurs the data pack can be corrected 
instead of dropping the packet. With FEC enabled the range is 
improved greatly. 

FIXED MODE 

 

 

 

Targeted transmission 
and receiving 

Disable 

 Enable 

Disable 

If enabled both transmitting and receiving modules must have 
same address and channel setting. It allows modules to 
exclusively communicate while ignoring interference from 
signals that are operating on same frequency. (similar to 
MODBUS) 

WOR TIMING 

 

 

 

Wake on receive 

500 

 4000mS 

This setting can be ignored, since the module will never be put 
into sleep mode for #RADIO REV1. 

IO MODE 

 

 

 

RX & TX pin mode  

PushPull - OpenDrain

 

Push Pull  - 

PLENGTH 

 

 

 

Packet length 

16 

 2000 Bytes 

64 

Can be ignored. Module is set to unlimited packet size.
