For use in Australia

Operate only in bands and with settings that are permitted for your location and application. Check this product’s supported frequencies in the description/specs.
If you intend to operate outside shared/licence‑exempt conditions (e.g. in other bands, at higher power, with high‑gain antennas, or extended duty cycles), you must have the appropriate authorisation.

For use in other regions

Follow the spectrum rules for your country/region and select frequencies and settings accordingly.

A declaration of use will need to be submitted during checkout.

YARD Stick One is a compact, sub-1 GHz wireless test tool that plugs straight into USB and gets you talking to low speed digital radios fast. Ideal when you want a nimble, computer-controlled transceiver instead of a full SDR.

Explore, characterise, and prototype links across common ISM bands for projects such as industrial control systems, wireless sensor networks, smart meters, home automation, garage door remotes, and remote keyless entry. Check local regulations before transmitting.
