` \*\*\*: Should be between 3.3V and 5.0V **for less than 5W**, more than 5.2V can cause damage, and some modules support 2.3V ! Model Number Structure ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The E32 modules all have a unique name that gives you some information about its abilities, form factor and more. Here is the standard format: :raw-html:`
` ``E32-{Frequency}{Interface}{TX Power Max dBm}{Form Factor}{Optional Variant}`` Frequency """"""""" ``170`` ➜ 160-173.5 MHz :raw-html:`
` ``400`` ➜ 410-525 MHz :raw-html:`
` ``433`` ➜ 410-441 MHz :raw-html:`
` ``868`` ➜ 862-893 MHz :raw-html:`
` ``900`` ➜ 862-931 MHz :raw-html:`

` ``37`` ➜ 37dBm / 5W `(Special PSU requirements)` Form Factor """"""""""" ``D`` ➜ DIP `(Dual In-line Package)` :raw-html:`
` ``S`` ➜ SMD `(Surface Mount Device)` Optional Variant """""""""""""""" The optional variant can be a number that may have a letter after it, or just a letter: :raw-html:`
` ``1``, ``2``, ``2T``, ``3``, ``C``, ``T`` I don't know what the letter mean for sure, it could be related to the minimum voltage input since it seems to be different on those.

The ``E32-433T27D`` variant is mentioned in the `E32 V1.30 User Manual `_, and on its `product page `_ but no proper datasheet could be found for it. Transmission Modes ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The E32 modules support 2 modes of communication named `"Transparent"` and `"Fixed"`. The main characteristic of `"Fixed"` mode is that it requires you to prepend you message with a target address and channel. And for `"Transparent"` mode, you can broadcast as well as monitor. Please note that Ebyte's infographic shown below doesn't state that modules in `"Transparent"` modes needs to be set on the same channel and address, but you absolutely need to. .. image:: _static/ebyte-graph-tx-modes.jpg :width: 80% :alt: Ebyte E32 modules transmissions modes infographic :align: center :raw-html:`E32 Transmission modes.
