    I have 2.4GHz working nicely with laptop using the Sparkfun Xbee Explorer but would be good to leave the laptop behind - Has anyone tried an Ardustation with a 2.4GHz Xbee in UK?

    Yes, telemetry options do seem to be limited in the UK.

     

    BTW, I should have been more specific on the 433Mhz frequency. The 433-434 frequency band is split up like you wouldn't believe. Many of the European modules are not allowed in the UK because they intefere with HAM radio allocations, you can however use bits of it! The detail can be found (I believe) at:

    Hi Peter,

     

    I'm afraid not! both 900Mhz and 433 Mhz are not allowed in the UK legally.

     

    You can use the 868Mhz but these work for  minutes and then stop working for the rest of the hour due to duty cycle!

    Some people are currently experimenting running 2.4Ghz Xbees and 2.4Ghz radios together.

     

    Kind Regards

     

    Dave
