"Roger,
This is available. Parameter GPO1_3STATLED will allow gpio1.3 to act as status led (ATS19, in latest version, check your version ATI5? to see where it is)
which shows when link is active. low when link is active. ie. pull a LED down to ground…"

"Rico,
Try setting serial break detect  (ats6) to 2.
You power is set to 10, assuming your outside this should be higher.
Also you are using global addressing. You really should be routing through node 2.
How are you relaying the data though node…"

"Rico,
Great it's working. To know what latency to expect I need to know your configuration.
There are a number of parameters that affect it.
The serial protocol format you are using, I expect it is mavlink.
I can't recall how it decides when to send…"

"Hi Minh,
Yes , and Yes. That is to say you can set the network id differently on each set.
This will give them a different hopping sequence, they will not pick up the other radios data, but occasional collisions will occur and cause some loss.In…"

"Hi Rico,
Sorry to hear problems with async, Can you tell us what exactly happened with mission planner?
Sometimes MP or copter needs to be updated. This has happened on a number of releases with MP.
Can you get MP to work with Sik Code using the…"

"Shyam,
This is implemented in RFD900X. I haven't seen anyone keen to add this to the 900+ as it may be a stretch for the micro to handle. Since it is available in the 900x along with other features I don't think it is likely IMO.
Shyam…"

"Not much added from 2.53 to 2.55. Unlikely anything to bother you.
Wait around a bit for V2.58 as it improves throughput especially on higher data rates.
Other than that there's only minor fixes, and if your happy with current throughput, then…"

"Hi,
There will be a time lag of about a second before failsafe kicks in.
Please ensure you have V2.4 or later when using PPM as the recording had a bug previous to that.
Please ensure that you are connect via ftdi cable to the vehicle side when…"

"Justin,
Adapters we are making are  for plug in modules directly into transmitter.
We are still working on enclosures for them.
We haven't made an adapter for the 5V to 3V input yet.

"Short answer , no.
The hardware is capable but old modems would need mods to keep up with x versions and they are hard to change. There is an ever increasing list of features being added to the x, and the 900+ will not be able to support these. We…"

"Hi,
I'm not sure exactly what your setup is, can you explain? 
Are you using the ezhf somehow with the rfd900 or just 2 systems side by side?
if so can you turn off uhf system, does rfd900 work correctly?
If this fixes the problem then interference…"
