PLT/PLR Data Packet Link Radios

These radios provide a transparent interface with control over the datastream, using existing hardware with new firmware for a simple data link.

Pin Descriptions
  • PLT and PLR modules have similar pinouts with specific functions for each pin, including power supply, ground, transmit/receive enable, and data input/output.
  • Important notes on pin usage and voltage levels are provided.
Serial Interface Commands

Commands configure the module via a 9600 baud CMOS level inverted RS232 format, allowing channel selection, buffer size setting, and mode configuration.

Operating Principle

Details on the FLOW output behavior during receive and transmit operations, including timing and data burst handling.

Condensed Specifications
  • Frequency bands for EU, UK, and Australian versions.
  • Frequency stability, channel spacing, and number of channels.
  • Operating temperature range and spurious radiation compliance.
  • Transmitter and receiver specifications including output power, modulation type, and sensitivity.
RX Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)

The PLR receiver includes an RSSI for assessing link quality, with output characteristics and typical RSSI levels provided.

Antenna Requirements

Recommendations for integral antennas, including whip and helical types, with considerations for optimal performance.

Antenna Types and Performance:
  • Whip Antenna: Offers ultimate performance and ease of design setup but is larger in size and has low immunity to proximity effects. It provides a range of 500m in open ground.
  • Helical Antenna: Moderate performance and design setup ease, with high proximity effect immunity. It offers a 200m range.
  • Loop Antenna: Least performance and design setup ease but is compact and highly immune to proximity effects, with a 100m range.
The choice and position of the antenna significantly affect system range, with the best position being external and clear of metal objects.
Technical Specifications:

The document provides specifications for various transmitter and receiver models across VHF and UHF frequency bands. Key parameters include frequency band, supply voltage, RF power, and data rate. Standard products use a 9600 baud interface speed, with slower versions available.

Ordering Information:

Details are provided for ordering different models, including part numbers and frequency bands. The document notes the availability of products on various VHF and UHF frequencies, subject to SAW filter availability.

Legal and Compliance Information:

The document includes a copyright notice and a limitation of liability statement. It mentions compliance with the R&TTE Directive for placing products on the market and provides contact information for Ofcom and the European Radiocommunications Office for further details.
