Notice: It is 500mW Version. Will update photos ASAP.
Introducation:
It is a small, light and inexpensive open source radio platform that typically allows ranges of better than 300m "out of the box"
(the range can be extended to several kilometers with the use of a patch antenna on the ground).
The radio uses open source firmware which has been specially designed to work well with MAVLink packets
and to be integrated with the Mission Planner, Copter,Rover, and Plane.
Specification: (Manual)
Brand Name: Holybro
Version: 433Mhz / 915Mhz ( Optional)
Item Name: 500mW Transceiver Radio Telemetry Set V3
Application: Compatible for Pixhawk 4 Flight Controller

FT230X is a USB to BASIC UART IC
Power
- Supply Voltage: 5VDC (from USB or JST-GH)
- Transmit Current: 500 mA at 27dBm
- Receive current: 25 mA
- Serial interface: 3.3 V UART
Status LEDs
- The radios have 2 status LEDs, one red and one green. The meaning of the different LED states is:
- Green LED blinking - searching for another radio
- Green LED solid - link is established with another radio
- Red LED flashing - transmitting data
- Red LED solid - in firmware update mode
Package Included:
2x 433Mhz OR 915Mhz Radio Module with antenna
Connecting to Pixhawk4
Use the 4 pin JST-GH connector that should have come with the radio to connect the radio to your Pixhawk4's "Telem 1"
("Telem 2" can also be used but the default recommendation is “Telem1”).

Connecting to a PC
Connecting the radio to your Windows PC is as simple as connecting the micro USB cable
(which should have been included with the radio) to your PC.
The necessary drivers should be installed automatically and the radio will appear as a new “USB Serial Port”
in the Windows Device Manager under Ports (COM & LPT).
The Mission Planner’s COM Port selection drop-down should also contain the same new COM port.
