Hello John,
Sure, you can use RF4463F30 modules for the 33cm band (band not
available for amateur-radio here in France). But then the difficulty
would be to find a good (and cheap) radio amplifier with fast TX/RX
commutation times. The big avantage of my solution over 430MHz band is
that you can find cheap DMR amplifier, with fast TX/RX times (less than
500 microseconds).
If you find equivalent amplifiers for 33cm band, please let us know. I
would be very interested, and I will update my project!
73,

I note that at the advertised bit rates, the OBW
(occupied bandwidth) may
exceed US Regulations for 70cm. However, the chip used, is also claimed to
support 33cm.
I am interested in the new packet protocol proposed by the project. Even at
a lower bps on 70cm (for the US), and full rate at 33cm, this has real
potential for mid-tier data communications.
