MicoAir LR24 2.4GHz Long-Range Telemetry Radio

The MicoAir LR24 is a 2.4GHz LoRa telemetry radio pair that links an ArduPilot or PX4 flight controller to your ground station. The two units bind automatically on power-up, and air rates up to 20 KB/s handle parameter downloads, log transfers and mission uploads as well as live telemetry.

Key features

• LoRa modulation with frequency hopping (FHSS) for interference resistance

• Selectable air rates of 2.4 (default), 4, 8 or 20 KB/s

• Transparent serial link: MAVLink for Mission Planner and QGroundControl, or any other serial data

• USB-C ground unit (CP2102) plugs straight into a PC, phone or tablet, including QGroundControl on Android

• Green LED confirms the link; channel, air rate and baud are set in the MicoAssistant app

Pick the LR24-F pair for all-round use, the 1 W LR24-P pair for maximum range, or the LR24-F ground unit with the bare-board F Mini air module for small, weight-sensitive aircraft. As the link shares the 2.4GHz band, a 868/915MHz RC receiver on the aircraft keeps control and telemetry apart.
