RFD900ux-US Long-Range Telemetry Modem Bundle

Finally, a telemetry link that won't give up on you faster than a New Year's resolution. This RFD900ux-US bundle is the gold standard for pilots who want to fly beyond the horizon without losing their digital mind (or their expensive carbon-fibre toys). It’s FCC approved, so you won't have any awkward conversations with the regulatory authorities unless you’re actually doing something you shouldn't be. Looking at you, Steve.

Why You Want It

Imagine having 40km of range while your mates are still struggling with 2.4GHz interference from a nearby microwave. This kit is pre-configured and locked for FCC compliance (CFR15.247), meaning we’ve done the hard work of keeping it legal so you don’t have to hire a barrister. It’s small, it’s powerful, and it makes your current telemetry setup look like two tin cans tied together with damp string. Plus, buying the bundle is cheaper than buying the parts individually, because we know you spent your last tenner on prop replacements.

In the Box

• 2x RFD900ux-US Radio Modems
• 1x 900MHz Quarter wave monopole 2.1dBi (8.3)
• 1x 900MHz Right Angle Quarter wave monopole 2.1dBi (8.2)
• 4x 900MHz Half wave dipole 3dBi (8.4)
• 1x FTDI USB cable (8.1)
• 4x RFD900u antenna cable RPSMA (11.6)
• 1x 900ux to 8-way socket cable (2.4)
• 1x RFD900ux multi-cable 150mm (2.3)

Compatibility

Ideally suited for Pixhawk, The Cube, and any flight controller that speaks MAVLink or Serial. You will need the RFD900ux PIXHAWK2 Telemetry Cable (150/300mm) to actually plug this into your application. If you try to use Blu-Tack and hope, it won't work.

Highlights

• Legally Long Range: FCC locked so you stay on the right side of the law.
• Diversity Performance: Two antenna ports per modem because redundancy is sexy.
• Compact Form Factor: It's the 'ux' version, which stands for "unbelievably small" (we made that up, but it's true).

Notes

This kit is pre-configured. If you start poking around in the firmware and break the FCC lock, that’s on you. Requires a dedicated Pixhawk2 telemetry cable for full integration.

Disclaimer

Range is environmental. If you fly behind a mountain or inside a lead-lined shed, don't email us about signal loss.
