Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : Anyone got experience of HC-15 LoRa module?

@TassyJim Thanks for this Jim. Mick had already said as much - I was totally ignorant of that as I have never been into the HAM scene and so not exposed to such knowledge - just highlights the value of forums.

I can't see myself being in need now as LoRa is looking increasingly like it will provide. Guarantee if I used two directional antennae it would cook someones doorbell or baby monitor at regular intervals and draw attention.

@Mixtel90 in recent years I would seriously consider a laser link if I had complete control of the environment like that (and LoS). Even these cheapie 5mw laser modules off ebay provide very good performance over quite some range. If it's good enough for StarLink... Looks pretty cool while operating too  I would love to have done something like that here.
