3DR Radio Telemetry Module — 433MHz or 915MHz, SiK Open-Source Firmware, MAVLink, FHSS, 2KM or 5KM Range, for Pixhawk, PX4 & ArduPilot
The 3DR Radio Telemetry Module is the standard telemetry solution for Pixhawk, PX4, and ArduPilot flight controllers, providing a reliable bidirectional MAVLink telemetry link between your UAV and ground station. Running open-source SiK firmware on a HopeRF HM-TRP module (SiLabs Si1000 RF microcontroller), it features Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS), Adaptive Time Division Multiplexing (TDM), and a transparent serial link for seamless integration. Available in 433MHz or 915MHz frequency bands and 500mW (2KM) or 1000mW (5KM) output power configurations.
Key Features
- Open-Source SiK Firmware — Field-configurable via AT commands (local) and RT commands (remote); supports adaptive flow control with ArduPilot/APM
- MAVLink Protocol Support — Native MAVLink framing and status reporting for seamless integration with QGroundControl, Mission Planner, and other GCS software
- Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) — Robust interference rejection for reliable links in RF-congested environments
- Adaptive Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) — Efficient bidirectional data transmission
- -117 dBm Receiver Sensitivity — Excellent sensitivity for long-range telemetry links
- Air Data Rates up to 250 kbps — Fast telemetry for real-time flight data and mission updates
- Built-in Error Correction — Corrects up to 25% data bit errors for reliable links in challenging RF conditions
- LBT & AFA Support — Listen Before Talk and Adaptive Frequency Agility for regulatory compliance and interference avoidance
- Configurable Duty Cycle — Adjustable for regional regulatory compliance
- RP-SMA Antenna Connectors — Standard connectors for antenna upgrades and directional antenna use
- TTL UART Interface — Standard serial interface for direct connection to Pixhawk TELEM ports
