Not in the UK - that would be a crisp.

But in some parts of the world a crisp would be what we call a popadom.

Chip

Used generally as meaning electrical and electronic components generally…. Logistics and supply chain globally buggered so shorter to just type 4 letters…. You know how lazy I can be

I was referring to the OP’s OP and the rationale for buying a “close but no cigar” frequency.

Chip shortages should not have inspired this situation - the chips for a 868 vs a 915 HAT are the same - it’s the passives that make the difference.

Sure, but chip limitations are messing up manufacturing generally. If a company can only get so many chips, they have to guess how to allocate them between builds for the two/three bands, and if they guess wrong what the relative demands will be that could easily result in only having inventory left for one band - vs in normal times they could do a another production run to compensate for whatever was selling faster.
