- Rugged, low-cost narrow-band transceiver
- Meets NTIA narrowband and FCC refarming requirements for transmission
- Supports up to 16 channels
- Transmits up to 25 miles line of sight
- Compatible with most of our current and retired dataloggers

- Each station can act as a repeater to extend the transmission distance attainable by the network
The RF310, RF312, and RF313 are narrowband UHF/VHF radio transceivers that provide a long-distance telemetry option for communicating with remote measurement stations. The three transceivers vary only by the frequency ranges they support:
- RF310: 148 to 174 MHz
- RF312: 440 to 480 MHz
- RF313: 400 to 440 MHz

Detailed Description
The RF313 is programmed by Campbell Scientific to the frequency that was assigned by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This frequency must be specified at time of order so that it can be programmed into the radios.
A user-supplied antenna that matches the FCC-assigned radio frequency is required for each radio. Typically, the COAXNM-L coaxial cable is used to connect the antenna with the radio. One end of the COAXNM-L includes a male BNC connector that mates with the radio's BNC connector. The other end of the COAXNM-L includes a Type N Male connector that mates with the antenna's connector; the majority of VHF/UHF antennas terminate in a Type N Female connector.
Besides the radio, each field station and repeater station must also have an RF500M Radio Modem or RF310M Radio Modem; base stations need an RF500M modem, RF500B Base Station, or RF310B Base Station. The RF System brochure provides a complete list of equipment used in our field stations, repeater stations, and base stations.
