mLRS MAVLink 900MHz TX Module KIT, mR900-30-TX
1. Product Overview
1.1. Product Description
The Matek mLRS 900MHz TX Module Kit (mR900-30-TX) is a high-power, long-range transmitter module designed for mLRS (MAVLink Long Range System) applications. It operates in the 900MHz ISM band (868MHz / 915MHz depending on region) and combines MAVLink telemetry and RC link in a single device. With an integrated cooling fan and adjustable output power up to 30dBm (1W), it ensures exceptional range and signal reliability for UAVs, FPV drones, and fixed-wing aircraft.
1.2. Key Features
- Powered by STM32G431KB MCU running open-source mLRS firmware.
- LoRa SX1262 transceiver with TCXO for stable frequency performance.
- Adjustable output power levels: 21 / 22 / 24 / 27 / 30dBm (max).
- Operates in 900MHz ISM band (868MHz / 915MHz selectable).
- Integrated Bluetooth module for configuration and firmware update.
- Built-in cooling fan activated automatically when high power is used (500mW).
- Supports both MAVLink telemetry and RC control link.
- Compatible with mLRS receivers (900MHz series only).
- Includes antenna adapter cables (IPEX → SMA and IPEX → RP-SMA).
- Wide input voltage range: 5–13VDC.
