9.3 Can I use 868Mhz version for 915Mhz bands?
It is possible but the distance will be very short, you can select US915 frequency band in 868Mhz
version hardware. It will work but you will see the performance is greatly decreased because the
868Mhz version has an RF filter for band 863~870Mhz, all other frequencies will have high
attenuation.
