Broadcast Retries

In serial mode, all data is broadcast. With a typical (95%) link, broadcast messages make one hop most of the time. Increase the

broadcast to six retries for stream-based serial packets that cannot tolerate data loss. Set the broadcast retries to no retries for

deterministic protocols, like Modbus RTU, that resend data periodically. Increasing retries slows down throughput.

Radio Transmit Power

The 900 MHz data radios can be operated at 1 watt (30 dBm) or 0.250 watt (24 dBm). For 2.4 GHz radios, the transmit power is

fixed at 0.065 watt (18 dBm).
