Can I swapped Ground/Air telemetry units in my drone?

Hi,

First time posting on this forum...

I recently moved across the country and hadn't used my 3DR drone in quite some time. Today I took it out of the basement to get it setup to use and noticed the 915 Mhz Ground device has the USB connector busted of the unit. See the attached picture titled "Ground". The USB connector on 915 Mhz telemetry device in the drone is fine. Please see the attached picture titled "Air". My question is if I can simply swap these around so I can use the telemetry device with the intact USB on my ground unit (smartphone) or are they specifically made for each purpose, Ground vs Air? I assume the UART connector on the device with the busted off USB is still functional and that is what is needed on the Air side anyway.

Lastly, I have the original Pixhawk (I think?) in my drone and don't know if that makes any difference to my question? Please see the attached picture titled "Pixhawk".

Thanks!

Marshall

They are the same and swapping them over should not be an issue.

Thanks...I went ahead and tried it a few days ago and it worked perfectly.
