<p>what is the difference between the 915 MHz, 500 mW telemetry radio and the 915 MHz, 100 mW radio.</p>
<p>A higher power radio will theoretically get you longer range if there is line of sight.</p><blockquote>
<p>Telemetry radios have to connect to the RTK Facet via USB or just the JST-GHR-04V to JST-GHR-06V Cable</p>
</blockquote><p>An external radio cannot be connected over USB. It needs to be attached to the 4-pin RADIO connector using the included 4-pin JST connector or the included 4-pin to 6-pin cable (which can directly connect to the <a href="https://www.sparkfun.com/products/20029" rel="nofollow">LoRaSerial</a> or [HolyBro](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/19032 radios).</p><blockquote>
<p>What benefit does the SparkFun LoRaSerial Kit have to the telemetry radio?</p>
</blockquote><p>LoRaSerial is a 1W radio utilizing the LoRa modulation technique for long range applications.</p></blockquote>

Lemetria radios have to connect to the RTK Facet via USB or just the JST-GHR-04V to JST-GHR-06V Cable<p>What benefit does the SparkFun LoRaSerial Kit have to the telemetry radio? I am going to use it for a base and Rober RTK connection.</p></p>

After getting that to work I had a firmware issue an update solved that problem. I've started playing around with the unit in rover mode and began marking points around my college before I head to class to see how it works, it does. The software is a little technical but after a couple of weeks I think I grok!</p>
