The RT-900 (probably) does not use a BK4829
Added 2025-05-20 18:05:00 +0000 UTCWhen the Chip-ID is read on the the RT-900 (Register 0x00) it returns as 0x4819 which is the same ID a normal BK4819 returns. The Chip ID is kind of important and it should return what the chip is. So either Beken have messed up big time, some radios (like mine) have 4819s in them or the chip in all RT-900s is not a BK4829 at all and Radtel are liars.
I've asked Radtel on Telegram to explain why this is, but if they answer or not is another matter.

You can enable the console debug option in the radio menu then use the monitor on the SPI to capture the register data
