About
The GAUSS UHF Radio is available in two configurations: a low-power 2W version and a high-power 5W version. The uplink and downlink are totally independent, meaning they can be configured with different frequencies, modulations and protocols. The radio can be reconfigured via software, dynamically changing output power. Thanks to its dimensions, two radios can be stacked on the same PC/104 board, used in parallel or for redundancy. Together with the radio, an adapter board for testing and a computer software interface are included, and it is fully compatible with the GAUSS Mini Ground Dongle for lab testing.
