TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Frequency range
: RSX150G
100 - 225MHz (banded, fixed at manufacture)
RSX450G
400 - 470MHz (banded, fixed at manufacture)
RSX850G
868 - 870MHz
Usable band depends on frequency, please enquire.
RF preset channels
: 80 (selectable via separate RS232 serial input, frequencies
programmable within band)
Channel programming
: Table of 256 equally-spaced frequencies with common Rx-Tx
offset, or table of 80 individually-programmed frequencies and
Rx-Tx offsets.
Channel selection
: 64 channels maximum using 6-bit parallel logic line input.
256 channels maximum using serial RS232 data word.
Serial/parallel selection switchable in real time.
Channel spacing

(configurable)
Source address
: 0-255 (configurable)
Destination address
: 0-255 (configurable)
Number of data bits

General facilities
: LED confirming functional state (Tx, Rx, fail)
Power save facility
: Logic input provides on/off switching
Tx forcing mode
: Configures the modem to transmit regardless of squelch state
Packet size
: Configurable for 64 or 128 bytes.
For data packets <64, set modem to 64
For data packets >64, set modem to 128 (more efficient for
large data packets)
Cyclic Redundancy Check:
Received data is checked and if a CRC error is detected the
packet is discarded. Set to ‘disable’ if using external error
checking or system can cope with some corrupt data.
