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. Frank W. Raffaeli AOM Wireless http://www.aomwireless.com/ |

It would want to be a fairly large robot to accommodate an efficient antenna system at that freq, and esp if Tx was contemplated. Indeed it would be a large Tx antenna; however, the receiver I built in 1974 had a ferrite rod antenna, measuring about 3 inches long, IIRC. We received a clear audio (AM) signal above the noise from in Detroit, Michigan from Cleveland, Ohio. The antenna at the transmitter was 48 feet vertical suspended from fishing line between two oaks. If Tx from a robot were required, a VHF to Longwave relay link should do the trick. Frank Raffaeli AOM Wireless http://www.aomwireless.com/ |
