mLRS MAVLink 900MHz Receiver, mR900-30
1. Product Summary
1.1. Product Description
The Matek mR900-30 900MHz MAVLink Receiver is a high-power, long-range receiver designed to operate on the mLRS (MAVLink Long Range System) open-source firmware. Operating in the 900MHz ISM band (868/915MHz depending on region), it provides robust, low-latency communication for UAVs, FPV drones, and professional telemetry systems. With up to 30dBm (1W) RF output power, this receiver ensures maximum range and reliability for MAVLink and RC control links.
1.2. Key Features
- Runs on mLRS (MAVLink Long Range System) firmware.
- Powerful STM32G431KB MCU with LoRa SX1262 transceiver and TCXO.
- Supports 900MHz ISM band (868/915MHz region configurable).
- RF output power up to 30dBm (≈1000mW).
- Dual communication: MAVLink telemetry + RC output (CRSF/SBUS).
- Compact and lightweight: 29×21mm, ~5.3g.
- IPEXMHF-1 antenna connector for easy integration.
- Wide input voltage: 4.5–13VDC.
- Built-in power amplifier (PA) and low-noise amplifier (LNA) for extended range.
- LED indicators for connection and bind status.
- Firmware upgradeable via DFU / STM32CubeProgrammer.

5. Installation Configuration
- Connect regulated power (4.5–13VDC) to “V” and GND pads.
- Always attach the antenna before powering on the receiver.
- Press and hold the bind button for ~4seconds to enter binding mode.
- Bind with a compatible mLRS 900MHz transmitter module (not ELRS or FrSky R9).
- For high output power (25–30dBm), ensure good airflow or attach the included heatsink.
- Use mLRS Configurator or STM32CubeProgrammer for firmware updates.
- Configure UART ports in your flight controller for MAVLink and RC signal routing.
6. Compatibility Warnings
- The 900MHz mLRS series (SX126x/WLE5) is not compatible with ELRS or FrSky R9 systems.
- Ensure compliance with local frequency regulations (868MHz / 915MHz).
- Always use the correct firmware target.
- Provide stable power and secure antenna connection to prevent damage at high TX power.
7. Practical Summary
