[Paparazzi-devel] Shop options for telemetry and GPS

[Tilman Baumann]

What is currently the most convenient place to buy GPS modules and 
telemetry modules from one source in Europe (UK)?

I came up with this shopping list at diydrones.
https://store.diydrones.com/Xbee_Telemetry_kit_p/kt-telemetry-xbee.htm
https://store.diydrones.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=KT-MPXV7002DP-01&CartID=2
https://store.diydrones.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BR-0008-01&CartID=1
https://store.diydrones.com/FTDI_Cable_3_3V_p/ttl-232r-3v3.htm

What I like there is that I can get it all from one source. And 
everything has nice breakout boards.
But especially the xbee modules have been unavailable for a long time 
now and I have the hassle of importing it from US.

Is Digi even the best option these days, considering their recent 
factory breakdown with the flood?

Everybody seems to go for the 2.4Ghz Xbee. What are other popular 
(affordable) options? (legal in UK)
On paper the 868 Mhz option seems irresistible. Is the information on 
the Wiki still correct that it is practically impossible to adhere to 
the min duty cycle requirements in a predictable way?
2.4 Ghz seems the savest option.

Sorry for bothering you all with my thoughts. I will be able to find all 
the bits, scattered over several shops. But it would be so great if I 
could just find one place for all.

 Tilman
