Hi, I am looking for advice on how to integrate a PIC microchip with a
ham radio transciever. I will use this in a robot. I am looking for
100 - 300 mile range. I have a ham radio license.

Thanks for the help

If you are in the U.S., review FCC rules under part 15.217 governing
operation within the 160-190 kHz band (yes it's kHz). Reliable 100
mile range is possible is some areas at limited information rates. I'm
not sure if remote control is allowed.

It would want to be a fairly large robot to accommodate an efficient
antenna system at that freq, and esp if Tx was contemplated.
