# Holybro SiK Telemetry Radio - Long Range

This Holybro SiK Long Range Telemetry Radio is a small, light, and inexpensive open-source radio platform with an extended range (~20km) compared to the standard model.

This radio is plug-and-play, ready for all Pixhawk Standard and other similar flight controllers, providing the easiest way to set up a telemetry connection between your controller and a ground station.
It uses open-source firmware that has been specially designed to work well with MAVLink packets and to be integrated with PX4, ArduPilot, Mission Planner and QGroundControl.

The radios are available in 915 MHz or 433 MHz versions.
Please purchase the model that is appropriate for your country/region.

## LEDs Indicators Status

The radios have four status LEDs.
The USB `RX` and `TX` LEDs indicate the status of reception and transmission of the USB port.
The `RADIO` and `ACT` two LED lights indicate the status of the RF circuit.

- USB-TX LED (orange):
- Blinking: USB port has data transmission
- Off: USB port has no data transmission

## Connecting to Flight Controller

Supply the power (7~28V) to the radio via the XT30 connector.
Use the 6-pin JST-GH connector that comes with the radio to connect the radio to your flight controller's `TELEM1` port.

Note that `TELEM2` can also be used, but you may need to [configure the telemetry port](../peripherals/mavlink_peripherals.md) on some flight controllers.

## Connecting to a PC or Ground Station

First, power the module with a 7~28V DC source.
Then, connect the radio to your Windows PC or Ground Station using a Type-C USB cable.

The necessary drivers should be installed automatically, and the radio will appear as a new “USB Serial Port” in the Windows Device Manager under Ports (COM & LPT).
The Mission Planner's COM Port selection drop-down should also include the newly added COM port.
