I have Yongnuo RF 603NII N3 transceiver (2 pieces). I would like to know whether we can use it without connecting one piece to YN-565EX II Flash Unit i.e. one piece of transceiver will be in my camera hot-shoe, do I need to attach the other piece in the flash unit if the flash unit is YN 565EX II? Or I can use other transceiver as remote trigger in my hand?
I am asking this because both my transceiver and flash unit are Yongnuo
PS: I am yet to buy flash unit.
Thanks in Advance !!

Edited. No. My response was wrong. It can not be trigged by radio. So I'm editing the post.
You need to use a reciver conected to the flash. But if you need the ttl function you need something like the Yongnuo YN622-TX Wireless ETTL.
If you use the 603 you can only use the manual remote mode on the flash.
No, you cannot set off the YN-565EXII from an RF-603II without attaching another RF-603II to act as a receiver on the foot of the flash. The YN-565EX has no built-in radio receiver.
However, the RF-603II does not have to be on the camera hotshoe to set off the flash--you can use one in-hand as your transmitter with the test button. The trouble will be syncing it with the camera shutter if you do so. And you could use the S1/S2 "dumb" optical slave modes with your camera's pop-up flash to set off the flash remotely, rather than radio triggers.
If you really want a Yongnuo flash with a built-in radio receiver that can be set off by the RF-603II, the YN-560III/YN-560IV is the flash you want, but understand that it is manual only. It cannot do TTL, it has no built-in CLS slave capability, and can only have its power/zoom remotely adjusted if you use the YN-560-TX as your on-camera transmitter.
