VHF Narrow Band FM Low Cost multi channel radio modules
The LMT1 transmitter and LMR1 receiver
modules offer a 12.5kHz / 25kHz channel
spacing multi channel, low power, and
reliable VHF data link. This makes the
LMT1/LMR1 pair ideally suited to those
low power applications where existing
wideband modules have insufficient
range, or where low cost multi-channel
operation
is
needed
without
compromising on RF specification or
regulatory requirement.
