    Not sure about this, but looking at the data sheet seems like they are preset to work with
    9.6 or 19.2 Kbps.

    And

    What do you have for an antenna?

    After scrolling through the first link that Joe found...

    These things look to be set up before use?

    module programming.
    Michael,
    do you have the software and did you go through the setup?

    They are the xstream x24-009nsc and I looked everywhere for a baud setup but it doesn't show anything.

    It looks from the literature that you just give it data and presto. ?

    I know it takes 1200 baud and a broad range of data rates.

    I tried taking CTS low and nothing but I don't think you need to do anything except give it +5v, ground and the serial data....it's xcvr so it has data in and data out pins.

    Have a nice stubby Linx antenna on both....they're very well made modules....but they AIN'T WORKIN' as goober would say.

    In a hurry today -- seems there may be some software and a setup board involved with these -- and a default baud rate?

    If anyone runs across this thread and is familiar with these Maxstream xstream modules, I'll be grateful for any timesaving help you can supply.

    THANKS kindly.
