Note, with the real-time telemetry sample rates are automatically limited to 10Hz. Logging to local SD card will be at the normal sample rates defined in the configuration.

			====Available bandwidth====
	The total available data rate is a function of number of channels combined with sample rate and is also affected by cellular network conditions. We will have an expanded guide and tool set to help identify optimal sample rates.
