900Mhz is illegal here but I need just to test

Hi,

I am going to order Telemetry soon and I am interested in RDF900 but I have couple of questions.

1. Does it work for a 5KM distance?

2. I am currently in Europe where 900Mhz band which RDF900 uses is not ISM band but I just need to test it for a few flight and then go to another country where it is allowed, So if I can use it, is it going to make problems and is local authority able to locate me?

Thanks.

  • You may adjust the minimum frequency of the RDF900 to be above 916 so as to be outside GSM spectrum and try your luck....

    I don't think the whole of Germany is monitoring this frequency ;)

    • Thanks but it seems a dangerous side :D , 433Mhz seems legal though.

      Do you have any idea how long can I go with it ?

  • 1. No.
    2. 900MHz is illegal in Europe, and yes, they can locate you if anyone reports interferences. 900MHz is used by GSM phones, and the providers are usually monitoring their network.
    • Thanks.

      But in some reviews I saw it was working up to 10KM.

      Can I use 433Mhz without any problem in Europe(Germany)?

        It does indeed work for 5km and a lot more besides. The rfd 900 is an amazing product and the service from Seppo is excellent. As for legality in Germany I'm afraid I have no idea.
