IS anyone using XBee 868 successfully for groundstation?

Posted by DaveyWaveyBunsenBurner on December 1, 2010 at 9:02am

Hi,

I've seen all sorts fo things written about the Xbee 868 modules in regards to RC control, the duty cycle, etc, but I can't seem to find is a definitive answer as to if anyone is using them successfully for AP or APM groundstation.

I know the 900Mhz are recommended in the Wiki but they are illegal in Europe.

I'm hoping to use them with the new shiny shiny HappyKillmour GCS.

Many thanks

Dave

Thanks Earl,

I didn't think the 900Mhz units have the 10% duty cycle limitation though?

Cheers

They work just like the 900mhz units. I have one (used to have 2) and they worked very well. Then I realized they are illegal in the USA. So I have one extra here. I now use 900mhz ones.
