RHF0M301 915MHz to 868MHz

Hello and Happy New Year!!! :slight_smile:

I live in France near city name Charleville-Mésières. so frequency plan is EU868

I request your help because I’ve build a gateway with a raspberry Pi 2 and a RHF0M301 from Seeed Studio
This board has mistaken been bought at 915MHz (by someone else) and I’m trying to understand which kind of hardware modification is there between 868 and 915MHz.

I’ve followed a tutorial and install a fresh raspbian with packetforwarder 4.0.0

./packet-forwarder start --reset-pin 7

I’ve tried to build a node with an arduino and a inAIR 9.
But this node is never seen.

Does someone has a good idea to test all those stuff?

I’ve got a Hack RFone board and a RedPitaya! (downloading Pentoo in progress)

So what you ask is ’ how can I modify a factory RF frontend tuned @915 Mhz to 868 Mhz .

I doubt you’ll get it to work

Hello,

Do you believe the board is tuned for 915 MHz? I’m not able to find information about this…
Filter in front of RTX chips?

If you got the full schematic. I’m very interested :slight_smile:
Thanks

yes… if not, there would be one version and only the firmware (channel list) is different.

No, sorry I don’t have the schematic

Hello,

I’ve received an answer from Seeed Studio!!!
