I would appreciate some help

I would like ot konw what the best solution is for a telemetry datalink in the UK
I konw that 900mhz is not allowed in europe
868mhz has a duty load of less than 10%
2.4Ghz is possible but RC gear is usualy 2.4Ghz
So is the best solution to use 2.4Ghz

I purchased the recommended xbee pro 900 modules from sparkfun, I am using the sparkfun usb explorer board for the pc side, and then using the adafruit adapter board for the ardupilot side as recommended
I dont know if this is best place to ask these fairly beginner questions. I have been spending the last few weeks reading though and understanding the autopilot code as best I can, and also learning lots about micro controller programming as I go al

I came across a website with freeduino, and as far as i can see its 100% compatible with arduino, and from the pictures it also looks 100% the same as arduino? So whats the point of it if its the same thing, just a different colour? I was just wond
