Antenna Switch Project
kist2001 replied to Mr.RC-Cam's topic in Wireless Video Antenna Problems and Solutions
Man this is a neat project. With the current crop of telemetry you could have an intelligent array of antennas based upon actual plane location! I guess it will call come down to vector math in the end! -
A better 900Mhz receiver....a dream but who knows. Dreams sometimes do come true. #1) You expect Eagletree to ship? The system is public knowledge so no wikileaks here. #2) Jeti? I cannot see a big player want to tackle the small FPV market. 700 users... #4) I have spoken with the designer of the Ruby. Nice guy. Has FPV in mind and will add an OSD later....or an open interface to an established OSD like Remzibi. -KEn

Eagletree vs. Oracle Diversity
kist2001 replied to Doofer's topic in R/C Wireless Video: General Info, RF Gear, and Cameras
Shame, I would liked to have owned this. I still think there is a market for a high end receiver. People will sell themselves into it after the cheapo 900 Mhz receivers tire them out. -
Reputable vendor?
kist2001 replied to Airbender's topic in R/C Wireless Video: General Info, RF Gear, and Cameras
If you want reputable go to Dpcav.com and get all your stuff. If you want to take a chance you can buy off brand stuff and save some bucks. You pays your money and you takes your chances. I have tested off brand 900 Mhz transmitters with a spectrum analyzer. They are simply not in the same league as the real gear. Do I have some off brand stuff...yes...do I depend on it in my expensive FPV planes...not on your life. -Ken -
DVR Suggestions
kist2001 replied to ViperDaSnake's topic in R/C Wireless Video: General Info, RF Gear, and Cameras
Does anyone know the Mb/sec of the DN-60? I currently use a Sony-MiniDV deck but would like a non-tape solution. Especially if the unit could be triggered with one switch. I hate having twelve different buttons to press just to record. Yet watching the tape spin is very comforting that you are recording... -Ken -
I have a bird wattmeter which I use to test transmitters output. Unfortunately I only use the 900 Mhz band and have no slug for 1.3. As the previous poster said if you would be willing to buy the slug I could test all your units. Yet a spectrum analyzer would be better as it would tell you RF energy radiated at your specific wanted frequency versus a summation of all power out. My cheap USB spectrum analyzer only works in the 900 Mhz band but has taught me volumes about transmitters I have purchased. The bird wattmeter lets me match antennas to transmitters and see how transmitt

I am currently looking for a cheap pico projector. The second wave of devices has arrived pushing the first wave into the bargain bin. Once I find a sale on a unit with decent light output I will try this. In the meantime I am working on my own Trimersion hack with a 5.8 receiver. -Ken

RSSI Meter for Video Receiver
kist2001 replied to Mr.RC-Cam's topic in R/C Wireless Video: General Info, RF Gear, and Cameras
I wired up mine with a servo cable plug. Now I can move the meter to several differnt receivers. They work great!
