This is a NewB question and , yes, I have searched Google and these forums for answers.

I would like to:

• Communicate with my Killjoy Ground Station
• View live first person video (FPV) with telemetry overlay (not neccesarily through Googles)
• Record good quality video.(Not neccesarily HD)

I have

• Hitec Eclipse7 72Mhz radio but am prepared to buy a 2.4Ghz if I have to.
• APM
• Laptop with KGS installed and currently comminicating to APM via USB

I know I need (and here is where I need your help). Remember I have no frequency constraints (or do I?  I live in Australia):

• Two XBees :- which one 900Mhz or 2.4Ghz. (This site says 2.4Ghz will work with 72Mhz radio but does not say whether it 900Mhz will work with 72Mhz radio)
• A camera (or 2? one for live streaming, one for quality?).
• I see GoPro can do both streaming and recording simyltaneously. Is this a good option?
• CMOS and CCTV. What are they? How does each connect to the transmitter, or are they mutually exclusive?
• A means of streaming the live video:- Please confirm this cannot be done via XBee.
• Based on the suggestion for Radio and Xbee. What frequency and model for video transmission?
• Telemetry overlay on all video (live for live stream. Dont mind mixing off log for HD). I want to take advantage of telemetry on APM; don't want stand alone unit. What works? What to watch? is the HK unit any good?
