Regional Frequency Specifications
When manually setting frequencies the module will round down for any value that is not
an even multiple of the supported frequency quantization.
For example: In the NA region, setting a frequency of 917,599 kHz results in a setting of
917,400 kHz.
When setting the frequency of the module, any frequencies outside of the valid range for
the specified region are rejected.
Frequency Hop Table
The frequency hop table determines the frequencies used by the ThingMagic Nano when
transmitting. The hop table characteristics are:
Contains up to 62 entries.
Must be within the frequency range for the region currently selected.
Changes are not stored in flash, thus changes made are not retained after a power
cycle, including when the ENABLE line is activated after having been in the shutdown
state.
Individual entries cannot be changed without reloading the entire table.
