Be the first to review

$54.95

This is an assembled breakout board with a uBLOX MAX-M8Q module, front end LNA and Filter.


The board incorporates an Infineon front end SAW filter and LNA for enhanced performance and faster lock times.


We have two versions. This one is suitable for interfacing with 5V microcontrollers such as the Arduino. The 5V version comes with suitable level convertor for serial/I2C and 3.3V regulator to ensure safe operation and interfacing. If the 5V version is connect to an Arduino you can still program the Arduino as the serial level convertor defaults to off.


Suitable for HAB Usage Max Altitude 50,000 meters / 164041 feet in Flight Mode.


The module is supplied with a 2.54mm 8 way header and a super cap for hot start/setting retention.


The board is constructed on 1.6mm PCB and utilities the Sarantel/Maruwa SL-1252 Quadrafilar Antenna offering great omnidirectional performance and rejection of out of band signals.


On the header are TX, RX, EN(Enable – turns on the level convertor on 5V boards), TP (PPS Output), 3/5V Supply I2C SCL/SDA and GND.


To use the 5V module you will need to pull the EN line high (just attach it to the 5V line).


The MAX-M8Q delivers all the benefits of the u-blox 8 GPS platform in a more compact form factor than ever before: high-sensitivity, intelligent power management.


Supporting temperatures down to -40'C and featuring a TCXO for better power saving and quicker startup.


The breakout has the following dimensions :


5V Version 51.8mmx21mm (board edge to top of antenna) x1.6mm (13.2mm antenna diameter) approximately – Weight 10.3g


As per the data sheets the MAX M8Q can use upto 22mA under aquisition (5mA in power save mode once tracking).


The default baud rate is 9600bps.

Airspy Warranty

Airspy warranty is limited to 1 year from the date of delivery for purchased units that fail under normal operating conditions. Airspy units will be repaired at a price of $50.00 plus $10.00 shipping/handling. Normal operating conditions do not include excessive mechanical stresses due to mishandling, dropping, or bending; mechanical or electrical modifications; Electro-Static Discharge (ESD); excessive RF signals; excessive thermal stresses due to improper ventilation or cooling, submersion in any fluid; and any unauthorized repairs.
All warranty claims will be determined by Airspy or their representatives.

Accessory Warranty (except Filter/preamp)

Accessory warranty (except Filter/Preamp) is limited to 90 days from the date of delivery for accessories that fail under normal operating conditions. The warranty is limited to electrical failiure. Physical damage is specifically excluded unless such damage arises from normal use. Antennas are generally considered ‘disposable items’, although very limited warranties may be honored. All warranty cases will be determined by Airspy.US for these items. Contact us for any warranty claims.

    0 out of 5

    Uputronics filtered preamps for improved reception on 220Mhz.

    This is a cost effective SAW based unit which give excellent performance gains.

    All Uputronics preamps are compatible with most USB SDR Dongles such as the Airspy. You can power them from either bias tee (This item is 100% compatible with the Airspy bias-tee) or a simple USB mini cable (Purchased separately). Bias tee/USB voltage is 5V max.

    This unit is a small filter and preamp designed to go between a software defined radio receiver and an antenna. Using a SAW bandpass filter and a low noise amplifier (LNA), it stops out of band intermodulation while providing additional gain for increased sensitivity. The LNA is before the SAW filter. To block strong commercial FM signals a high pass filter is installed before the LNA.

    The LNA used is a MiniCircuits PSA4-5043+ which provides at least 20dB of gain. To stop out of band intermodulation a 220Mhz SAW bandpass filter, which has a 7MHz bandwidth is also present. The insertion loss of this filter is approximately 2.3dB, which does increase the overall noise figure of the unit to 0.75dB. Connectors are SMA female both sides.
