For more details about HAB and sonde hunting, please look on google and social media, there is a ton of valuable content.

## RS41-NFW Firmware features
* **Full support for ALL** RS41 versions (eg. `RSM421`, `RSM412`, `RSM414`, `RSM424`), including the new ones with the '4' at the end of the PCB model.
* **Full support for ALL** RS41 versions (eg. `RSM421`, `RSM412`, `RSM414`, `RSM424`), including the old and new ones with the '4' at the end of the PCB model
* Multiple, customizable transmission modes
* [**Horus Binary 4FSK v2**](https://github.com/projecthorus/horusdemodlib/wiki)
* One of the most efficient radio modes for HAB and other simple telemetry designs, allows for decoding of very weak signals
* Multi-QRG operation (ability to specify second Horus one, user can modify the code easily to get as much QRGs as wanted on every mode)
* APRS
* 1200 baud, with 1200Hz and 2200Hz tones achieved by FSK switching in a loop
* Standard balloon and WX reporting format
* 1200 baud, with 1200Hz and 2200Hz tones, achieved by FSK switching in a precisely tuned loop (very good performance)
* Many config options, including HAB (PSTVC structure compliant with RS41ng) and WX station reporting formats, overlay symbol modifier, SSID, destination (`APZNFW` supported and decoded by SondeHub), digi, etc.
* RTTY
* Customizable 45 and 75 baud rates, possibly other available
* Customizable tone spacing as a multiplication of 270Hz (minimum Si4032 offset)
* Compliant with UKHAS format
* Customizable 45, 75 and 100 baud rates, also other available
* Customizable tone spacing as a multiplication of 270Hz, default 570Hz
* Data bits and stop bits customizable (default 7N2)
* Compliant with UKHAS format. Provided by OM3BC
* Morse code (CW)
* Customizable wpm speed and dot length
* Compliant with UKHAS format
* PIP
* Beacon operation, transmitting short beep with a specified interval, which could be used as a foxhunting TX device
* Thorough support of RS41 hardware, including GPS, radio, power circuitry, reference heating etc. ...and:
* Support for **onboard boom sensors**, including **temperature and humidity** sensors. Pressure *estimation* (like SG models).
* Support for **onboard boom sensors**, including **temperature and humidity** sensors. Pressure *estimation* (like SG models)
* Detailed in-built **debugging** features via LED status and serial messages
* Onboard **button** allowing user to change different operation modes and parameters 'in-flight'
* **Safety features**, including GPS watchdog and position improvement (these two improve flights in environments with interference/noise), battery voltage and temperature protection, sensors defrosting and condensation prevention
* Support for extending hardware capabilities, including external I2C or UART sensors - including **OIF411**
* **Power saving** features, including GPS power management (together with powersaving modes and complete disable for stationary use cases) and automatic radio adjusting
* **Safety features**, including GPS watchdog and position improvement (these two improve flights in environments with interference/noise), battery voltage protection, sensors defrosting and condensation prevention, system reset watchdog
* Support for extending hardware capabilities, including **OIF411**
* **Power saving** features, including GPS power management (together with powersaving modes and OFF mode for stationary use cases) and automatic radio adjusting
* **User-friendly** firmware and IDE allows users to easily customimze the device operation
* Weather station mode, supporting APRS WX reporting
* Flight controling algorithms. Ability to rapidly send packets when below set altitude.
* Calibration modes for temperature and humidity sensor on the silver boom
* Weather station mode, supporting APRS WX report, constant coordinates
* Fox hunting mode, with CW and FM audio beacons
* Flight controling algorithms. Ability to rapidly send packets when below set altitude. Data analysis and debug sent via APRS extended packets every set interval
* Automatic calibration modes for temperature and humidity sensors on the silver boom, ground-check procedures, humidity module reconditioning. Ability to further improve accuracy by manually calibrating the readings
* And many more - mentioned in [changelog](#firmware-changelog) and [manual](./fw/OPERATION_MANUAL.md)
