Overview
The FGR-115RC operated in the 902-928 MHz frequency range. Transmission range was up to 60 miles (please note that line-of-sight obstructions, RF interference, and antenna type affected transmission distance).
Technical Description
The FGR-115RC supported point-to-point and point-to-multipoint networks. It could serve as a field radio/modem connected to a data logger, as a stand-alone repeater not connected to a data logger, or as a base station radio/modem connected to a computer.
Freewave's FGR-115RC 1-Watt Spread Spectrum Radio was retired in July 2007.

(12)14203
900 MHz 3 dBd Omnidirectional Antenna without Mounting Hardware
The 14203 is 3 dBd gain omnidirectional antenna. It is suitable for base station use where you need to communicate with multiple stations located in different directions. The 14203 is also preferred in mobile applications and in other applications in which the best radio path is not constant, including close-up applications without clear line-of-sight.
The 14203 is suitable for outdoor use and terminates in a Type N Female connector. The 14203 requires the COAXNTN cable to connect it to the radio.Orderable14201
900 MHz 9 dBd Yagi Antenna with Mounting Hardware
Suitable for the outdoors, this high-gain (9 dBd), directional (Yagi) antenna has a narrow beam width, so precise aiming is mandatory. The 14201 is useful for longer distances and when communicating only with one other station. The antenna's Type N Female connector attaches to one end of a COAXNTN-L cable. The other end of the cable attaches to the radio.
Please note that because the FCC limits EIRP to 36 dBm, use of this antenna may require a reduction of the radio's transmit power.Orderable14205
900 MHz 6 dBd Yagi Antenna with Mounting Hardware
The 14205 is a high-gain (6 dBd), directional (Yagi) antenna suitable for the outdoors. It transmits for longer distances and communicates with only one other station. The antenna has a Type N Female connector that attaches to the radio via a COAXNTN-L cable.
Please note that because the FCC limits EIRP to 36 dBm, use of this antenna may require a reduction of the radio's transmit power.Orderable14221
900 MHz 3 dBd Omnidirectional Antenna with Mounting Hardware
Suitable for outdoor use, the 14221 is the highest gain (3 dBd) omnidirectional antenna available for this radio. It has a Type N Female connector. The COAXNTN-L cable connects the antenna to the radio.
Orderable15970
900 MHz 1 dBd Omnidirectional Dipole Antenna with Adhesive Mount
Adhesive backing on this antenna adheres to a wall, rear-view mirror, window, or another suitable flat, non-conductive surface. The 15970 is a 1 dBd antenna that should reside inside a building or enclosure.
Orderable14204
900 MHz 0 dBd 1/2 Wave Omnidirectional Antenna with RPSMA Connector
Suitable for inside a building or enclosure, this 0 dBd, ½ wave whip antenna is adjustable from 0° to 90°. The antenna has an RPSMA connector that attaches to the radio via the 18686 Adapter.
Orderable15730
900 MHz 0 dBd 1/4 Wave Omnidirectional Antenna with RPSMA Connector
The 15730 is a unity gain, right angle, whip antenna that should reside inside a building or enclosure. It has an RPSMA connector that attaches to the radio via the 18686 Adapter.
Limited availability18686
Coaxial Adapter, Type N Pin (Male) to RPSMA Socket (Female)
Whip antennas attach to the radio via the 18686 RPSMA socket (female)-to-Type N pin (male) Adapter.
OrderableCOAXNTN
RG8 Antenna Cable with 2 Type N Pin (Male) Connectors
One end of this low-loss RG8 antenna cable terminates in a Type N pin (male) connector that attaches to the 14203, 14201 or 14221 antenna. The other end terminates in another Type N pin (male) connector that attaches to the radio.
Orderable18663
Null Modem Cable, 9-Pin PIn (Male) to 9-Pin Pin (Male)
Either the 18663 or the SC105 is used to connect the radio with the datalogger. The 18663 null modem cable connects the radio to the datalogger's RS-232 port.
OrderableSC105
CS I/O to 9-Pin RS-232 DCE Synchronous Interface
The SC105 Interface connects the radio to the datalogger's CS I/O port.
Orderable31320
Surge Protection Kit, Type N to N, 700 to 2700 MHz
The 31320 is an RF surge protection kit with flange mounting bracket. It may be flange-mounted to an enclosure backplate or bulkhead-mounted through an enclosure wall. One side of the surge protector connects to a radio with a Type N antenna connection. The other side connects to an antenna/antenna coaxial cable with Type N connector.
