TX1M/RX1M
VHF Narrow Band FM multi channel radio Transmitter & Receiver
Band
UK Version: RX1M-173-5/TX1M-173-5 (10mW)
The TX1M transmitter and RX1M receiver
modules offer a low power, reliable data link in
an industry-standard pin out and footprint.
This makes the TX1M/RX1M pair ideally suited
to those low power applications where existing
wideband modules have insufficient range, or
where multi-channel operation is needed in
VHF frequency.

NOTES:
1. Internal AF Input gain is factory set for 1V
pk-pk
to produce 3kHz peak deviation and minimum
distortion. Analogue gain may be set for an input level of 50mV – 2V
pk-pk
. This cannot be done
without appropriate test equipment. Contact factory for details
2. Carrier detect on RX1M mutes the AF and RXD outputs when RF input signal is <-123dBm.
This can be factory disabled if required.
3. There are no pullups on the open collector outputs. External pull-up resistor should be used.
4. With 1200baud modem mode enabled, parallel selection of channel is unavailable as the P1-P3 lines
are used for input/output operations.

Command
Description
Format
SINGLE nnnnn
Set value of N for single channel operation
GOCHAN xx
Serial select of channel xx (0 to 127)
LOADMX xx
Set highest permitted (serial selected) channel xx (others default to ch0)
LOADaa nnnnn
Set value of N for channel aa (channels 0 to 15)
LOADTB nnnnn
Set value of N for channel 16 (channels 17 to 127 then in sequence)
RVALUE rrrr
Enter value for R register
SETPAR
Channel selected by 3 bit parallel input (0 to 7). Disable modem
SETSER
Channel selected by most recent GOCHAN operation
SETMOD
Enable internal modem. Frequency selected by most recent GOCHAN or SINGLE

xx = channel number from 00 to 127
aa = two digit channel number from 00 to 15
nnnnn = synthesizer N register value, (up to 65535)

Notes:
1. A pause of at least 50ms must be allowed between command strings (EEPROM programming
time) SINGLE mode does not store the N value in EEPROM. Therefore the unit is inoperative
after a power down until either another valid SINGLE command is received, or mode is changed
by a GOCHAN, SETPAR or SETSER command. SINGLE mode is intended for frequency agile
applications.
2.
/SETPAR command should be issued at the end of channel programming to put the module
back into parallel frequency select mode.
