Rf416 2.4-ghz spread-spectrum radio the rf416 spread spectrum transceiver has an operating frequency range of 2.45 to 2.46 ghz, which is used in many countries world-wide. The rf416 is a compact, rugged, low-cost transceiver intended for use in a variety of applications.The transceiver transmits at a power level of 60 mw and frequency-hops among 25 channels to avoid interference with other devices. This improves performance in environments where rf noise, pagers, and cellular phones could potentially reduce communication between devices. The rf416 may be used without an individual fcc license. features replaces the rf415 spread-spectrum radio. Rugged, low-cost transceivers 60 mw, 2.45- to 2.46-ghz frequency frequency-hops over 25 channels. Does not require an individual fcc license. Can be used in the field as a transceiver or in the office as the base station. Current drain can be as low as 1 ma (stand by). Transmits up to one mile with omnidirectional antenna; up to ten miles with higher gain directional antennas. Settings are stored in non-volatile memory. specifications operating frequency: 2.450 to 2.460 ghz type: frequency hopping spread spectrum (fhss) transceiver io data rate: 38.4 k, 19.2 k, 9600, 4800, or 1200 bps channel capacity: 65, 000 network identifiers share 25 hop channels frequency hopping patterns: six different selectable patterns
