techdaemon | 200mW 1.3Ghz vs. 350mW 5.8Ghz over rocky ridge @techdaemn | Uploaded January 2016 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
On the left is
VTX 200mW 1.3Ghz cloverleaf antenna on a Nighthawk 285
VRX Racewood with Mad Mushroom CP omni
I may have to re-shoot this. I think my 5.8Ghz Rx is sub-par. Going to try with an FR632 diversity Rx.
On the right
350mW VTX with Cloverleaf antenna on IRC Vortex 250 Pro
VRX Boscam RC832 with 10dB Crosshair antenna pointed
toward the middle of the ridge.
Generally speaking when you see static on the 1.3Ghz side, it's because I'm literally flying it out of LoS, behind solid rock.
5.8Ghz side has clear LoS (other than a couple trees) all the time.
