Im building my first APM controlled mapping aircraft and I have some questions on the link.
With regards to link quality and distance in the 900mhz band, does the xbee pro 900hp seem to be the best choice? Or should I

as far as I understood, the radios are basically SDRs. Any chance to get the 900MHz modules running on 868MHz? That would be a nice option for Europe as 433MHz is ugly polluted here.
