Re: Video Receivers characterization

Re-testing the RC302 Because of the output issue with the RC302, I decided to open it up and get it fixed. This involved replacing both the output transistors. In the process, I took pains to clean up what looked like residual flux/solder-paste on the board, with methylated alcohol. After this I ch...

DragonOSD+ V2 price change

I should mention that we are looking at a possible USD19 price increase on the DOSD+ V2 soon. This will bring the price of the DOSD+ V2 to USD159. The reason for this increase is to make it more worth dealers' while to carry the product. Otherwise the margins are too low and I don't want to low-ball...

Re: Video Receivers characterization

Lawmate RX-2460CK (Comtech FM2400RTIM8) This very popular receiver has been the workhorse receiver for 2.4GHz FPV and has been around for a long time.

Video Receivers characterization

Video performance testing was done with a very weak RF signal being transmitted from the other room. The measured signal strength at the receiver is between -97dBm to -99dBm. All the receivers were tested using the exact same antenna in the exact same spot (+-1mm). In so far as was possible, everyth...

Some cameras, namely the NextChip reference design based ones, generate high levels of RFI in the UHF through to the GPS bands. In some cases, the ...
