From bf3b6e06619a03a4d3f9ecef99476bd44d74b3a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simonas Date: Wed, 13 Oct 2021 14:43:56 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] Support for US902-928 band Tested the setup with the below: * TTGO T-Beam 868/915MHz (T22_v1.0, 20190612) - tracker (LY1XD-5) * LILYGO TTGO 868/915MHz (T3_V1.6.1, 20210104) - iGate (LY1XD-4) The band specifics are more in favour of direct line of sight, as most obstacles are impenetrable by the 915 MHz band (compared to 433 MHz).But maybe it will open up for users who don't have the EU433 available in their geographies. https://aprs.fi/#!mt=roadmap&z=17&call=a%2FLY1XD-5&timerange=21600&tail=21600 --- README.md | 22 ++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 20 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index a5f87ed..ca0db69 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -11,9 +11,11 @@ You can use one of the Lora32 boards: * TTGO T-Beam V0.7 (433MHz SX1278) * TTGO T-Beam V1 (433MHz SX1278) +* TTGO T-Beam V1 (868/915MHz, SX1276) -This boards cost around 30 Euros, they are very cheap but perfect for an LoRa iGate. -Keep in minde: you need a 433MHz version! +These boards cost around 30 Euros, they are very cheap but perfect for an LoRa tracker/iGate. + +It has been successfully tested within the **US902-928** range with compatible 868/915 MHz TTGO devices.
