Features in Detail
📡
Module 01 · RTL-SDR
Software Defined Radio (RTL-SDR)
Powered by the RTL2832U + R860 tuner combination, this module covers a wide frequency range from 100 KHz to 1.74 GHz. The onboard TCXO ensures temperature stability and near-zero frequency drift. The 5V Bias Tee can be enabled in software to power low-noise amplifiers (such as LNA4ALL, HABAMP, and RTL-SDR Blog ADS-B LNA) and active antennas directly through the coax cable. A side-mounted LED indicates the Bias Tee status at a glance. HF Direct Sampling mode enables reception from 100 KHz to 28.8 MHz.

📶
Module 02 · LoRa / Meshtastic
Long-Range Low-Power Communication (LoRa)
Equipped with the Semtech SX1262 chip, operating in the 860–960 MHz band with a maximum output power of 22 dBm — far exceeding the range of conventional wireless solutions. An onboard TCXO oscillator ensures reliable, drift-free communication. Meshtastic is supported out of the box, enabling decentralized off-grid mesh networking over tens of kilometers without any base station infrastructure.

Module 03 · GPS
Multi-Mode Satellite Positioning (GPS / BDS / GNSS)
Compatible with GPS, BeiDou (BDS), and GNSS satellite navigation systems simultaneously. Multi-constellation positioning improves accuracy and reliability in challenging environments. Both active and passive GPS antennas are supported, making it adaptable to a wide range of installation scenarios — from drones and vehicles to outdoor tracking devices.

Module 04 · RTC
Real-Time Clock (RTC)
Features the PCF85063A high-accuracy real-time clock chip, backed by a rechargeable 3V coin cell battery that keeps accurate time even when the board is powered off or rebooted. This directly addresses the lack of a hardware RTC in the Raspberry Pi, making it essential for any time-sensitive application that requires reliable timestamps across power cycles.
