Hi:

I need to know the range of the SureLink RF Modules:


If you read this:
http://www.parallax.com/detail.asp?product_id=30065

the description is 1000 feet.

BUT

If you read this:
http://www.parallax.com/html_pages/resources/custapps/app_Boe-Dar.asp

you will see:"modules work reliably up to 500 feet."

I need to know the range because I have a 900 feet aplication.

Thanks, Mark

    You are right.
    There are to ranges for the same RF.

    I think that you must wait for a Parallax answer in this forum.
    I am sure they have the answer.

    Mark, Joe,

    ·· The ranges we list on the product page are provided by the manufacturer.· The other ranges mentioned are given by a customer in his application.· That is a personal observation given that customer's measurements.· It is unknown if this is line of sight, or within a building, however the range provided to us is line-of-sight (Unobstructed).
