Works well
Works great for what it is. I've gotten several hundred meters with the provided antennas through the treetops. Direct line of sight I'd imagine at least half a km. At the listed 20dbm, should be plenty of room for directional antennas too.To use with Mission Planner and Windows 10, you need to download the silabs cp210x universal windows driver. Once that's installed, Mission Planner recognizes it just fine, and it connects without issue. Plugs in and works fine with the orange cube too (pixhawk 2.1)

Buy as many of them as you want. They still wont work
First one didn't pair with itself. second one didn't pair with itself. third one paired with itself, and is unrecognizable to the PC. This is not a radio telemetry kit. This is a week of headache before you just end up returning it anyway.

Great tech, kinda sketchy wrap on drone module
Plugged in to macOS (Monterey) / QGroundControl setup and was instantly recognized. Yet to fly with it (plan on this weekend), but initial setup couldn't have been easier.Haven't gotten it working on an iPad yet - jury is still out.One star lost due to simple heat-shrink wrap around circuit boards rather than an actual hard plastic cases.

Took 2 weeks to get it to work
The radios would show solid green (good pairing) but they would not connect properly with Mission Planner. One of every twenty connection attempts work work, and then only for a few seconds. Tried 1) reflashing the radios, 2) updating windows drivers and 3) using APMPlanner and QGroundControl instead of Mission Planner. Nothing helped.Then I swapped out the long antenna on the PC radio for one that was about the same size as the drone radio antenna. Suddenly everything started working! Was going to rate this product at 1 star but switched it to 2 because it works now.Learned a lot about SiK radios while troubleshooting but I would have been happier if they worked right off the bat.

Doesn't work
I have tried 3 different computers (2 windows and one Mac) and I can't get the ground USB module to work. The computer will not recognize it. I tried the usual trick of installing the silicon labs drivers but still nada. Disappointing...
