30 dBm typical at 3.3 V and above. Maximum power will decrease at lower voltages. For more information on
adjustable power levels, see PL (TX Power Level).
2
The device hops on 50 channels selected using the CM command, from 101 available frequencies. For more
details, see CM (Channel Mask).
3
We estimate rural ranges based on a 14.5 km (9 mi) range test with dipole antennas.
4
Range estimated assuming that the urban noise floor is approximately 15 dB higher than rural. The actual
range depends on the setup and level of interference in your location.
