Malaysia Region Code Confusion

Hi, user here from Malaysia :malaysia: … I’m setting up my boards and for the region code, I’m a little confused. There’s MY_433 and MY_919 available. However, when I first started doing research on LoRa frequency for Malaysia, it’s suppose to be AS920-923 (“AS1”), the same as used in Japan. My Heltec v3 board can work fine with either MY_919 or JP AS1, but I am just confused which to use :sweat_smile: … if anyone can shed any light on this, I would be extremely grateful. Thanks :blush:

Hiya,

MY433 If you are a HAM Radio operator without encryption.
MY919 is the right for public use. Hope that helps.
Any question please visit MCMC. Ta

Thank you so much for the clarification.

Hi all, I checked, we can use 433MHz as public (encryption also can). This is because the band overlaps. Please be mindful only on the transmitted power.

Let’s connect at 433MHz!
