Question: Can an Xbee be used as a radio TX?

Hello All,

First understand the nature of my situation (i.e. why I don't just use a standard radio TX). I am wanting to  put a camera on a quad-copter (Arducopter w/APM) and send the video back to a PC for high level image processing (via a standard video RX/TX). I also am having the Telemetry data from the Quad come back to the same PC (via an Xbee) for further processing and integration. I am flying the quad using a standard RF TX/RX using the quad's input ports.

I would love to be able to send flight controls (pitch, roll, yaw, throttle; CH1-4) up to the quad via an Xbee and have the RF RX receive it.

So my question is, Can an Xbee send up RF commands to a standard radio RX?
