Overview
The DRXXXX-DK kit allows for full demonstration or development of the third-generation (3G) TRXXXX Virtual Wire
device. The kit provides “Out of the box” operation with or without the accompanying software. 2-way Range Test
capability is included by simply snapping on the included 9V battery, turn on power, and configuring the opposite
board for transmit. A small area is available for custom development with other popular microprocessors. The
DRXXXX Data Radio boards are configured to operate at a data rate of 4.8 kbps. The kits are shipped with a pair of
data radio boards and matching antennas. Data Radio boards with antennas can be purchased separately for
development of applications.
