# SX126x LoRa Radio
The Semtech SX126x family of sub-Ghz radio transceivers come in a number of different formats.
SX126x radios have a wide continuous frequency coverage from 150 MHz to 960 MHz.
SX1261 can transmit up to +15 dBm and the SX1262 can transmit up to +22 dBm
Some development boards are specific to a particular frequency range, so for example you need a different variation of that board for EU868 vs. for AU915.
## LAMBDA62 RF module
Cost effective radio module featuring the Semtech SX1262.
## STM32 STM32WLE5JC
ST Micro STM32WLE5/E4xx is 32-bit ARM Cortex M4 processor with Semtech SX126x processor on a single die.

Several boards have been made using this processor.

# SX127x LoRa Radio
This processor comes in several different packages.
## Adafruit LoRa Radio Featherwing
https://www.adafruit.com/product/3231
This is the LoRa 9x @ 900 MHz radio version, which can be used for either 868MHz or 915MHz transmission/reception - the exact radio frequency is determined when you load the software since it can be tuned around dynamically. They can easily go 2 Km line of sight using simple wire antennas, or up to 20Km with directional antennas and settings tweaks.
### Connecting
To use the LoRa Featherwing with a Pybadge/Gobadge, you need to connect some pads on the board itself. Solder some jumper wires as follows:
RST -> A
CS -> B
DIO1 -> C
IRQ -> D
You also need to connect an antenna. The easiest is to cut a small piece of wire to the correct length based on the desired frequency:
EU868 Mhz - 34.54 cm
You can also use a fancier solution such as a uFL SMA connector with matching antenna.
