6 Technical Specifications
6.1 TXMOD Power Consumption
The graph indicates the current consumption of the TXMOD vs the supplied battery voltage. It
should be noted that this graph is generated with the RFD modem configured for 30dBm, or 1 W,
transmission. Changing the modem power will significantly affect the current draw. The graph has
been divided to illustrate some common RC battery configurations.
