UK Drone - How to have Video, Telemetry & RC without using 900MHz - Discussions

I was wondering if anybody could help me, I am looking to build a drone that transmits video, has wireless telemetry and can also be controled by remote control. The problem is as I am in the UK i cannot use the 900MHz fequency which seems to be the standard for wireless telemetry.

I am looking to try and get the largest range (for wireless telemetry & video) possible within a resonable budget (<£1500 ish)

I have read this post http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/wireless-telemetry-options-in but i am getting a bit lost with the options.

If someone could advise me with the options available that would be a great help.

Thanks in advance for any help / advise.

Cheers,
Sam

Here is a good source of info...

I have not seen this before, but an interesting note on that site.

"A 459 Mhz UHF system is legal in the Uk for rc control use however..."

So it does look like you have some choices.
