CUAV P9 Radio Sky Unit

The CUAV P9 Radio Sky Unit is the airborne half of CUAV's long-range telemetry link for ArduPilot and PX4 autopilots, built for beyond-line-of-sight command and data on survey, mapping and long-range FPV platforms.

Key features

• 902-928MHz frequency-hopping link with up to 40 km range and a 276 kbps link rate
• Full-duplex MAVLink telemetry for mission planning, parameter tuning and live data logging
• Sky and ground units are interchangeable, so a damaged unit can be paired with a spare to cut costs
• Wide 3S-12S (12-60V) battery input needs no separate BEC
• Aviation-aluminium housing for heat dissipation and EMI shielding

Specifications

• Frequency: 902-928MHz
• Range: up to 40 km
• Link rate: up to 276 kbps
• Input voltage: 12-60V (3S-12S)
• Weight: 55 g (module), 86 g with antenna
• Interfaces: TTL (UART) and USB
• Communication modes: point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and relay

In the box

• 1 x P9 Radio Sky unit
• 1 x 915MHz antenna
• 1 x V5/X7-series data cable (25 cm)
• 1 x Pixhack data cable (25 cm)
• 1 x XT30 single-end power cable (25 cm)

Connect via UART/TTL to your flight controller's telemetry port; pair with a matching CUAV P9 ground unit to complete the link. Because the sky and ground hardware are interchangeable, keeping one spare unit covers either end of the link if a module fails in the field.
