Seppo replied to Aussie in AZ's discussion 3DR telemetry no longer supported by 3DR....options?
"Hi,
I don't see modems in the 900MHz band becoming obsolete at all.  The frequency band is available in a large number of countries with pretty good license conditions (1W in Aus, and 4W EIRP) in the USA being available.  The propagation in the…"
