# Hardware Options
# Hardware Options for your MPTM
The choice of hardware is the single biggest choice you will make. Due to the growing popularity of this project the number of hardware choices is growing almost monthly.
The choice of Multiprotocol Transmitter Module (MPTM) hardware is the single biggest choice you will make. Due to the growing popularity of this project the number of hardware choices is growing almost monthly.
There are currently four common hardware options. They are:
1. A ready-made DIY Mulitprotocol module from Banggood.com (see [here](http://www.banggood.com/2_4G-CC2500-A7105-Flysky-Frsky-Devo-DSM2-Multiprotocol-TX-Module-With-Antenna-p-1048377.html)) that integrates the microprocessor with all four supported RF modules and a hardware antenna switcher.

1. A host PCB for the DIY Multiprotocol module onto which the MCU and the desired RF modules can be soldered
1. A DIY MPTM made using one of the PCBs that are available and soldering on your own components.

1. Orange DSM Transmitter transmitter module that natively supports the CYRF6936 RF module. This module can be improved with Mulitprotocol firmware.

Unless you are handy with a soldering iron and you have access to electronic test equipment (like an oscilloscope) you should consider only Option 1. For a price of about $44 you can get everything you need, neatly assembled
