NOTES:
1) Usable band is determined by local regulations
2) The crystal frequency may be chosen from 5 different values (4, 8, 12, 16, and 20MHz) which are specified in
the configuration word, see Table 7. 16MHz is required
for 1Mbps operation.
3) Data rate must be either 250kbps or 1000kbps.
4) Antenna load impedance =
100Ω+j175Ω
5) Antenna load impedance =
100Ω+j175Ω. Effective data rate 250kbps or 1Mbps.
6) Antenna load impedance = 100Ω+j175Ω. Effective data rate 10kbps.
