I don't have Scilabs ISP, but plan to play around with the board to try 
implement encryption on it :).
 Yes, as for Tridge, the probability of another occurence is very low ;)

There are probably other HopeRF (HM-TRP and RF50) modules on the
market, but the 3DR ones look like they will be convenient if you
don't have a Scilabs ISP, because they will come with the open source
firmware already instaled (although not available ATM because they are
waiting for antennas).

A fair assumption, there can't be that many :)
