Thanks for that link. I was not far off with my exaggerated conditions - in the desert on batteries ;-). Unfortunately the BER and antenna type are not stated, but they were not after a carefully controlled experiment with that post.
Anyway the achievement that matters is the 100+ meters in a typical configuration and, considering the intended applications, it's a winner. Yeah I went around looking for a module before coming across the 002...which would be great for integrating an imp into a product and more reliable than the sd card connector. I'm trying to get my head around the differences between 001 and 002. Besides the higher number of IO pins, they say that a developer's edition is not available for 002 and a subscription requirement is mentioned for 002. http://forums.electricimp.com/discussion/comment/2928 Alex On Tuesday, November 5, 2013 4:36:57 AM UTC, Zandr Milewski wrote: > > On 11/4/13, 6:47 PM, AlexTsekenis wrote: > > Thanks, looks like purchasing one or two will not be an imp-ulse buy. > > > > I'm dubious as to the 1km range - maybe in the desert using battery > > power, 10F decap, 1bit/s and directional antennae.
