From the project
OpenLST Reference Hardware ==========================
OpenLST Reference Hardware ==========================
This repository contains a KiCad project with a hardware reference implementation for the OpenLST. This design is a simplified version of the Texas Instruments CC1110 432 MHz reference design. A 1 watt power amplifier module has been added to increase operating range. The design is intended for use at 437 MHz, however, it may be modified for use at other frequencies.
