[QUOTE="I B Spectre, post: 125193, member: 18605"] During my regular online check to see what is currently available, I did a search for "Remote id broadcast module for drones". For purposes of most off-the-shelf quadcopter users, I focused only on those that are self powered, contain their own GPS unit and simply attach to your drone. I ignore devices that have to be wired into the drone or require additional components (i.e. antennae). Unfortunately, the $39 USD CubePilot employs wire harness interface since it is not self-powered, so it doesn't work for my purposes. The next closest product that meets the criteria is the $139 USD DroneBeacon Db120 described in my earlier post and demonstrated in the aforementioned YT link. From there, the price jumps to about $200 and beyond. It remains to be seen if more products hit the market prior to Sept. 16, but as of now the selection is limited and pricey. It's noteworthy that, even though staying under the 250 gram threshold does not require RID at this time, any drone manufactured since Sept. of 2022 is required to have it. It cannot be turned-off and any attempt to do so results in the UAS inability to take off as shown in Ken Heron's YT video. We'll see what happens over the next month and a half. [/QUOTE]
