[Paparazzi-devel] Antenna for 868MHz

[Steve Joyce]

Greetings,
 
I'm just getting started with paparazzi, and working with the data link.  I
have some Aerocomm AC4868-250 modules and was wondering if anyone has some
advice about antennas.  The usual 1/2 wave dipole is a little clumsy for the
airborne side.  An off-the-shelf plug-in unit is preferred, but I am also
interested in home-brewed copper foil type solutions (I saw some examples on
the wiki).  For now I am happy with a reliable link within visual range, but
I know the Aerocomm is capable of much more.
 
Also it is safe to power this module from the 3.3v line on the tiny13?  Any
other tips on module setup would be appreciated.
