Not Much Help From The Press

Is there a respectable summary anywhere out there on the technical details? Anyone less familiar with modern avionics than contributors to this forum is not being helped a lot by the press reports on this case. There is loose talk by the yard from journos, who clearly know even less than I do, about comms systems, satellite tracking and the like; the ones I've read clearly have only the vaguest idea as to what they are talking about. To be fair, that's just the newspapers (and the idiot box, of course), where it's naive to expect much informed comment.

My question is whether there has appeared anywhere a respectable itemisation of the onboard and external systems and what is available from them - or at least what the authorities have chosen to release along those lines?
