Make sure the grounding is good, with low power ripple, also should increase filter capacitor and as close as possible to the VCC and 

GND pins. 

 

SPI communication rate should not be set too high, usually around 1M 

 

Make sure TXEN pin is high level, RXEN pin is low level when transmitting; 

make sure RXEN pin is high level, TXEN pin is low level when receiving;   

make sure TXEN

RXEN pin is low level before turning off. 

 

The register configuration can be reinitialized to obtain higher stability when the chip is invalid.

6. FAQ 

6.1 The communication distance is too close 

 

When there

s straight C

ommunication barrier, the communication distance will be reduced accordingly.

 

 

Temperature, humidity and same frequency interference will increase the rate of communication packet loss. 

 

Ground absorption, reflected radio waves, and closing to ground will lead to poor test result. 

 

Sea water has a strong ability to absorb radio waves, so test near the sea is not recommended . 

 

If antennas surrounded by metal items or placed in metal shell, the signal will be weakened badly. 

 

Power register is set wrongly or air data rate too high.(The higher the air data rate, the closer the distance.   

 

In room temperature, the power voltage will be less than 2.5V. The lower the the power voltage, the smaller the power. 

 

The antenna is unmatched to the module or the quality of antenna.
