the one i have is keep losing radio link. I need one asap ty.?ÿ

They are hard to get repaired and with Parani's available are really not worth fixing.?ÿ See this of many many threads https://surveyorconnect.com/community/surveying-geomatics/parani-yet-another-thread/
Just last week I flipped out my homebrew 433MHz radios and replaced them with Parani's. I kept the same power supplies and boxes and mounts, so it took me (only) about 8 hours to get up and running. Sweet. During the process I kept thinking whether I was performing the last Parani conversion known to mankind - maybe not.
That's a big regulator!?ÿ We are going to use ours next week when an instrument goes in for maintenance, so, you are definitely not the last user.?ÿ I am sure that I am done implementing though as you said
The "11.8" on the instrument radio is the main battery voltage - in this case a 12V car battery that powers the instrument, and the radio gets its power from that - with the display alternating between the main battery voltage and the regulated voltage to the Parani, which I set to 5.4V.
On the controller radio, it is powered by one of those 5V USB power packs - I took out the battery (3.7V Lipo?) and its step up regulator, and they sit under the Parani. The trick here is that the power pack powers when there is a near constant demand, but since the radios often go inactive, the powering goes off and does not restart, so I put in the line a low power LED alternating light (about 1Hz I think) and that fools the power pack into staying active.

Way to make it work!
