mLRS MAVLink 900MHz Receiver, mR900-22
1. Product Summary
1.1. Product Description
The Matek mR900-22 900MHz MAVLink Receiver is part of the open-source mLRS (MAVLink Long Range System) ecosystem, designed for UAVs, FPV drones, and professional telemetry applications. Operating in the 900MHz ISM band (868/915MHz depending on region), it combines long-range RC control and MAVLink telemetry in a compact and efficient form. The receiver features a LoRa SX126x transceiver and an STM32-based MCU for exceptional range, link stability, and low-latency communication.
