This low power UAT test source is designed for a lab or an aircraft hangar use only.
Radio being used in the project is rated for 14 dBm (25 mW) of maximum transmit power.
FCC compliant built-in RF filter reduces the power even more, down to approximately 1 mW on the reference frequency.
This power is sufficient to cover an area of just only few meters around the transmitter.

Schematics of the adapter and Gerber files of the PCB will be published soon after I'll receive the PCB samples
and will make sure that the design has no any critical issues.
