I have the broadcast module, which is necessary to be compliant with Remote ID, on older drones. But the FAA is very vague on how a recreational drone outfitted with an RID broadcast module must be registered in the FAA DroneZone website's "device inventory" section. How do you make sure you're doing it correctly?
As you can see, I have deleted my old drone device registration and created a new one, this time with "DOES YOUR DRONE BROADCAST FAA REMOTE ID INFORMATION?" answered with "Yes." And then the RID serial number is included along with the other drone info. Is that it? Or are you supposed to just add the drone device with no RID serial number at all, and then add the RID broadcast module as a separate device to the inventory? (For some reason none of this is answered or clarified anywhere on the FAA website.)

This is a summury of what I did:
1. Delete/cancel old drone device.
2. Create new device for the old drone, this time with RID broadcast module serial number included.
3. Add another separate device (the RID broadcoast module) in the inventory.

Probably best to ask this question of the manufacturer of the RID module.

On their website there is no info about this, and they're an obscure company.
