Long Range + +This Holybro SiK Long Range Telemetry Radio is a small, light, and inexpensive open-source radio platform with an extended range (~20km) compared to the standard model. + +This radio is plug-and-play, ready for all Pixhawk Standard and other similar flight controllers, providing the easiest way to set up a telemetry connection between your controller and a ground station. +It uses open-source firmware that has been specially designed to work well with MAVLink packets and to be integrated with PX4, ArduPilot, Mission Planner and QGroundControl. + +The radios are available in 915 MHz or 433 MHz versions. +Please purchase the model that is appropriate for your country/region. + +![Sik Telemetry Radio -
