Common RF remote control switch / RF relay board can be chosen from either of 3 working modes: Momentary, Latched or Toggle. These 3 working modes are either by using different 2272 decoder ICs (2272-M4 for Momentary, 2272-L4 for Latched, 2272-T4 for Toggle) or using our programmable smart RF relay board (using Jumpers and MCUs). Short …

Super regeneration is based on an oscillator in on / off operating mode. When it is switched on, the oscillation phase is preceded by a short period of very high sensitivity. The time required for oscillation to begin is then a function of the external energy input to the oscillator (detection of an incident carrier). …
