Is the radio in an RB911 identical to that inside a RBSXTG?

e.g. does an RBSXTG5HPnDSAr2 have an RB912UAG-5HPnD inside it (or something very similar) ?

I ask because I’d like to make my own SXTG-like gear using bare RB91x and antenna enclosures from a third party.

Thanks.

only sextant has RB711/911

This is what we do for the majority of our links. We previously used the 711s but now use the 911s. Everything works great.

I’m asking about the radio specifically, and I’m looking to understand whether the radios in the newest integrated products are better or worse than the 911/912 (hence would my home-built integrated units perform better or worse than the MT equivalent product?).

For example, the spec sheet for the SXTG-5HPnD-SAr2 says : TX/RX at MCS7 26dBm / -73dBm
While the 911 says : TX/RX at MCS7 24dBm / -78dBm
Meanwhile the SXT Lite5 says 22dBm @ MCS7/15 and –77 dBm @ MCS7 40MHz
And the SXT 5HPnD says 26dBm @ MCS7/15 (20/40MHz) and MCS7 40MHZ (135Mbit/s) -71dB

The SEXTANT G 5HPnD is spec’ed at 24dBm / -78dBm for MCS7 which matches the 911/2.

I think this means that, if the paper specs are accurate, that the 911 is at least as good as the newer integrated products. I’m not sure why there would be such a difference between the SXTG-5HPnD-SAr2 and SXT Lite5 for example, since supposedly they only differ in antenna gain.

chipset is the same, but output power could be slightly different. amplifiers could be different.
