 The radio communication between USB receiver and sonde uses the 434 MHz radio band, with 100 mW effect. The exact frequency is configurable at run-time in the range 400-479.9 MHz. The transmission power can also be lowered to follow local radio regulations. For safety, before launch check that the software reports a solid radio link by a green radio sub-system panel on the status tab. When the sonde starts, it looks for the receiver at the last known frequency for 5 seconds. If the receiver is not found, the sonde starts alternating between a pre-defined frequency (434.00 MHz) and the last known frequency. At first start of a new sonde or to make the sonde recognize a new frequency, press the software button "Pair with sonde" until a window appears for the sonde.  The radio communication between USB receiver and sonde uses the 434 MHz radio band, with 100 mW effect.

 +The Mini-sonde system is made up of three main components.
 +  * Sonde/Battery/Charger
 +  * Receiver/Computer/Cable
 +  * Balloon/Regulator/Tubing-FillingHead
 +The last item is to have a tank of helium. We have used the Radiosonde S1H3-R-SW Swarmsonde and Radiosonde S1H3-R. We been using the Argon, Helium, Nitrogen, Gas Regulator, CGA-580, Single Stage, Brass, 0 to 125 psi available at [[https://www.grainger.com/product/HARRIS-Argon-5KZ46|https://www.grainger.com/product/HARRIS-Argon-5KZ46]]
