nRF1822 BEACON and nRF1822 QFAA-R7 difference

[Jarryd]

was just wondering if there is a difference between the nRF1822 BEACON and the nRF1822 QFAC-R7?

the first one cost around $30 and the second one cost around $6.

I found this on this website www.semiconductorstore.com/.../

Just dont want to get caught buying the wrong one.

The first one is whole board, second seems like bare chip.

thanks for your response. what do you mean by bare chip? are there any features missing?

Chip is that little black thing which you need to solder on some PCB with other components (typically passive things like resistors, caps, coils, crystals...) to make it work as system. Board is such PCB tested and working.
