SD-174EL UHF 450-490 MHz

The Maxon SD-170EL Series of radios are durable, reliable and designed to meet the needs for a variety of wireless applications. Include the optional FFSK or GMSK modem boards to add even more diversity to this cost effective radio. The modules incorporate the popular mechanical footprint, DE-15 female connector and BNC antenna connection.

The modules incorporate the most requested mechanical footprint and BNC antenna connection. Adjustable transmit power settings from one to five watts provides the power needed on any job and the tri-color LED indicator gives instant on-sight status of the radios operation. Combine that with low current drain and fast transmitter/receiver attack times for operation in the harshest of system demands. The die cast aluminum cabinet/lid provides resistance to RF interference; and gives exceptional environmental durability in the most extreme conditions.

Whether implementing a new system or installing into an existing system, the Maxon family of data telemetery radios have been the choice of OEM and end-users worldwide for over 25 years.

Maxon's 3 year warranty and FCC, European Conformity and Industry Canada Certification logos certifies that the electromagnetic interference, safety, manufacture and other quality parameters have been met by the Maxon SD-174EL
