## Restrictions

**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.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=SPX-22791:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/SPX-22791:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Do you need power? This breakout for the 868M30S module from EBYTE is a 1W (30dBm) LoRa transceiver. LoRa is great for long range (miles), low power (in sleep), and low data rates (~500bps). This breakout board is designed to connect to any platform that has SPI and 6 available GPIO. Sparkfun include a robust edge mount **SMA** connector to connect large LoRa (868MHz) antennas.

We've successfully broadcast 12 miles line-of-sight (thank you [foothills](https://www.google.com/search?q=boulder+foothills&tbm=isch)!) using the equivalent 915MHz module so theoretically, the 868MHz frequency should have very similar transmission distances. Your results may vary.

Our example sketches make quick work of the initial setup for the [SX1276 LoRa transceiver](https://www.semtech.com/products/wireless-rf/lora-core/sx1276) from Semtech, and the RadioLib Arduino Library makes advanced configuration and [protocols](https://github.com/jgromes/RadioLib/wiki/Default-configuration#protocols) (AX.25, Hellschreiber, Morse, RTTY, and SSTV) a cinch too!

We do not plan to regularly produce SparkX products so get them while they’re hot!

**Not for use in the USA:** The 868MHz band is not 'open' or 'license free' in the USA. 868MHz is somewhat license-free in Europe. Various frequencies have various [ERP limits](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-range_device#SRD860). Please check your local regulations for more information.**Experimental Product:** [SparkX](https://www.sparkfun.com/sparkx) products are rapidly produced to bring you the most cutting edge technology as it becomes available. These products are tested but come with no guarantees. Live technical support is not available for SparkX products. Head on over to our [forum](https://forum.sparkfun.com/) for support or to ask a question. ### Features
