Default Just purchased my DroneTag...

Bought my drone tag moments ago, for the intro price (today, 22 May only). $94.01 for the unit, the micro bluetooth antenna, the micro GNSS antenna, and UPS shipping. Of note, the shipping is most expensive part other than the unit itself.

For me, it's all about rational economic decisions. If I want to fly recreational sUAS, I have three options: fly only things <250g, fly things >250g at FRIAs, or fly things >250g using a remoteID device. Flying at the FRIA near me will cost $85 for AMA plus $100 for the club dues ... and that's each and every year. For one time cost of just over half that, I can get the drone tag and move it from plane to plane.

To me, it's an easy choice.

Reasonable price. With antennas and shipping probably $120.00 max.

This is likely the reason radio manufacturers are non-committal. Additional after market suppliers will compete and prices will decrease.
Ideally, radio mfg'ers will introduce new receivers with it built in. Either way they will be readily available.

Actually, it was $94.01 all in. Device, Bluetooth antenna, GPS antenna, and shipping!

My estimate was paying regular price. Still good overall.
