Introduction

Linx KH3 Series RF modules offer a simple, efficient, and cost-effective 
method of adding wireless communication capabilities to any product. The 
Basic Evaluation Kit gives a designer all the tools necessary to correctly 
and legally incorporate the KH3 Series modules into an end product. The 
development boards themselves serve several important functions:

•  Rapid Evaluation: The boards allow the performance of the Linx KH3 

Series modules to be evaluated quickly in a user’s environment.

•  Range Testing: Using the on-board encoders and decoders to 

generate a simplex transmission, a pair of development boards can be 
used to evaluate the range performance of the modules.

•  Design Benchmark: The boards provide a known benchmark against 

which the performance of a custom design may be judged.

•  Application Development: An on-board prototyping area allows for the 

development of applications directly on the development board.  
All signal lines are available on a header for easy access. 

The kit includes 2 KH3 Series transmitters*, 2 KH3 receivers*, 2 extra 
PCB-mount RP-SMA connectors, 2 development boards, 2 CW Series 
antennas, 1 CR2032 battery, 2 AAA batteries and full documentation.

*One part is soldered to the board, one extra for use on your first prototype board.
