7. 928 MHz spectrum is set aside by the FCC as an ISM Band Industrial Scientific and Medical and this spectrum accommodates many license free users We have the ability to change frequencies in this band and we have 81 different channels that we can assign to our transmitters and receivers The actual frequency is coded into the receiver and transmitter at the factory but it can be changed to one of the other 80 channels in the field Other devices in this band include wireless phones computer data links and inventory equipment As a condition of using this band we must accept and handle interference from other users The 900 MHz band has worked well for most users and not being burdened with licensing regulations is desirable The FCC has allowed 50 000 microvolts per meter field strength on this band which is 250 times higher than other unlicensed frequencies below this band This allows our systems to operate very reliably in the presence of other signals Command Format We use packet mode Frequency Modulation FM to carry commands in a packet form from our transmitter to our receiver To reduce battery drain our transmitter transmits for a hundredth of a second which is long enough to send one packet to our receiver at a repetition rate of 16 or four times per second The rate varies 16 times per second for three times when sending a command and four times per second when there is no change in commands and the transmitter is
