On watches with a radio, we have Morse and GFSK transmitters, as well
as an OOK transmitter that will command cheap remote-controlled
relays. The radio is accessible from a host computer over the UART
for building base stations and repeaters, or for rapidly prototyping
radio applications in Python. P25 and DMR support might come soon.

Our replacement board is based around the CC430F6147, which combines
an MSP430 microcontroller with an LCD controller and a sub-GHz radio.
Thanks to pin compatibility, our fancy linker scripts produce a

chip.
The initial version, the GoodWatch10, lacks a radio but supports all
other features, such as the RPN calculator, hex editor, and
disassembler. Assembly of the GoodWatch10 is no longer recommended,
as the PCB requires a bit of whittling to fit the case.
The GoodWatch21 is now our primary target, featuring minor corrections
to layout and a functional radio. The radio is in active use, and the
filter chain is verified to work.
The GoodWatch30 will be manufactured in early 2018 with a wider filter
and other radio modifications.
The
[GoodWatch30](https://github.com/travisgoodspeed/goodwatch/wiki/GoodWatch30)
is our current hardware revision, with filters that run from 300 MHz
to either 500MHz or 915MHz. The GoodWatch20 family had narrower
filters at 433MHz, but is still supported.
