The Sub Gig Radio Board
Introduction
This is the Sub-Gig Radio board which is called 'Sub-Gig' because the frequency is 868/915MHz. The radio is the MRF89X and it comes in two varieties depending on where in the world it's being used. Check the datasheet's certifications, but the 868MHz version is the MRF89XAM8A and the 915MHz version is the MRF89XAM9A. This board supports both modules, since the footprints are identical.
