mlRS MAVLink 2.4GHz Transmission Module Kit, mR24-30-TX
1. Product Summary
1.1. Product Description
The Matek mR24-30-TX mLRS 2.4 GHz Transmission Module Kit is a high-power MAVLink long-range transmitter designed for UAVs, fixed-wing aircraft, and FPV platforms requiring a combined RC link and telemetry. Running mLRS firmware on an STM32G431 MCU with an SX1281 LoRa RF core and a SKY65383-11 PA/LNA front-end, it supports output levels up to 30 dBm (~1 W). The kit includes a JR adapter board with Bluetooth for configuration, LED status indicators, a cooling fan for high-power operation, and IPEX→(RP)SMA pigtails for antenna flexibility.
1.2. Key Features
- mLRS (MAVLink Long-Range System) firmware on STM32G431.
- 2.4 GHz ISM band with SX1281 LoRa + TCXO RF stability.
- Configurable TX power steps: 13 / 20 / 24 / 27 / 30 dBm.
- SKY65383-11 PA/LNA RF front-end for high output and sensitive receive.
- JR-bay adapter with Bluetooth (HC-04), LED indicators, and bind/DFU button.
- Cooling fan activates at ≥ 500 mW output for thermal management.
- Multiple control/telemetry modes (e.g., CRSF/mBridge) for RC + MAVLink in one link.
- Includes IPEX MHF-1 → SMA and IPEX MHF-1 → RP-SMA pigtails.
- Wide input voltage range via adapter: 5–13 V DC.
- Status LEDs: Red/Green for link state, Blue for Bluetooth.
