Scott, I've used this modules for telemetry, they are very good. Use them also for audio, setting a voltage offset at the module input. You can get good audio quality at the other end, especially if you use the 433.93 modules and use you HAM radio to receive it. Wonderful. But i do not want this modules. I do want real VHF FM and UHF FM HAM band syntethized modules. I've been looking for them in Europe, but found nothing here. Only found HAMTRONICS in the USA. Do you have any idea where i can find them here in Europe ?? Thanks Sena > > I've used the Lynx modules with good success (433 and 915 Mhz).
