LightTracker Plus

LightTracker Plus is an ESP32-based development board featuring a 1 Watt SX1268 (433MHz) LoRa module, GPS module, battery holder, and 2 dBi 433 MHz SMA antenna.

LightTracker Plus is available on https://shop.qrp-labs.com/aprs/lighttrackerplus for order.

Important : LightTracker Plus 1.0 operates on the amateur 70 cm (UHF) radio band with a 30 dBm output power, which typically requires an amateur radio license to operate in many countries. Therefore, if you are not a licensed HAM operator, please ensure to check local regulations and laws before purchasing the module.

Key Benefits
