Black Pearl Flicker

[scooter339]

Just hooked up my Black Pearl, I have cloverleaf TX & RX.

At close range I see signal breakup but certainly workable. At 50 yards more break up and I lost signal a couple of times in five minutes.

Is this typical?

What type of tx are you using and where did you buy the antennas?

Immersion TX

Cloverleaf TX & RX DJI Product -- I think I got them at MotionRC -- don't remember.

Did you change from PAL to NTSC? That was an ongoing problem for other members here.

No its not typical. If you give more info someone may pipe up. Eg. Freq/channel/band match at both ends, Video mode ntsc or pal, what antennas on BP, is diversity on etc

I'm NTSC, I have the3 diversity channel set to A and the other two are set to E

Reception about the same. I should probably judge the reception at more than 50" Yes?

My guess. The Immersion TX connector is SMA and your cloverleafs are RP-SMA. You need adapters.

The 600mw immersion RC tx? I thought it transmitted on band F? I would set them all to band F and try again.

I'm set to band F and ordered the antenna adapter.

Thanks all.

 

[MrC]

Do you need the antenna adapter? Post a pic of the connections on the BP without the antennas on there, also the antenna connectors.

Same on the tx and its antenna. (make sure you don't power on the tx without an antenna on it or you will fry the tx.)

Thanks -- I got the adapter, switched to Channel F and all is well.

Glad to hear you got your FPV problem solved !
