Dual Antenna Radio Transceiver DA-RTRX
[b]Version: 1[/b]
Description:
This is a radio transceiver that supports two antennas. It can use its two antennas to listen to two different frequencies the same time. It can relay traffic from one antenna to the other. This can allow you to hook up a walkie-talkie to your radio and have the radio work as an range extender.
Features:
[list]
[*] Can listen to traffic from two antennas
[*] Can send on one frequency while listening on another
[*] Can relay radio traffic coming from one antenna to another antenna
[*] Offers a Display UI to control its features
[*] Offers a control functionality via composite signals and some on/off
[*] Display compatibility: (Recommended)1x2, 1x3, 2x2, 2x3, 3x3, 5x3 & 9x5

[/list]
Installation:
[list]
[*] Place the microcontroller on your build
[*] Edit the micro controller
[*] Move the nodes out of the Micro Controller white box that you do not need for your build and resize it to only contain the nodes you want.
[*] Update the micro controller with its new dimension and node changes
[*] Adjust the MC configuration panel to your preference.
[*] Connect all the nodes you chose to include (* are mandatory)
[*] Place down two antennas (for full functionality). Does not support "Radio RX Small"
[*] Make sure your display have power and is turned on.
