If anyone has used/pushed their XBee Pro 900 (http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=9087) to the limit I would love to know some results. I am mainly looking for max altitude being that horizontal distance can be limited depending on terrain. I'm attempting to model some kind of low altitude satellite relay system for pushing information further from the ground station. Thinking about some of the following,- Weather balloon (will eventually go too high?)- Quad copter with position lock (would take a while to get into position, using alot of energy)- Smaller UAVIdea being, the system would hold at a specific location (where I would expect my radio to drop out) and act as a relay to get the information to the host UAV.Ideas, experiences etc?
