Just did 2 short flights this morning before the winds of hell started to blow. I just went out a little over 750 meters @ 25 meters, and turned around-without loss of RC this time!!! Also, maintained good video throughout most of the turn.
Now running the Spironet CP on both the aircraft's VTX, and monitor/RX.
I would have gone further...but, something told me it was time to come back-and I did. About 5 minutes after I landing-the winds went from 5mph to 25mph!!!
Question; Does anyone know a Radio Technician/Expert? What I wanting is someone that has a clue, to test one of these transmitters-and give us the actual reading of the true MW ratings, on each channel.
I have a link to a page that had that information on it-but, I question it's accuracy because it's a bit dated, and I think those like me, with the Boscam TS-832(600 mw?), have newer versions of transmitters, that honestly, I haven't seen anyone test.
How hard can it be? Isn't there like a meter or something that you can plug into the antenna port on the VTX and test the power?
Also, I'm trying to come up with a ratio of altitude Vs. Distance. It's starting to look, for me anyways, like about .1 : 1
So, if I go 10 meters, I should have video and RC control to 100M. At 103M, I had control and video to past 1000M.
I realize there are a lot of variables that have to do with the Fresnel Zone. But-there is a "simple" solution to eliminate our difference due to terrain-fly over water.
Yea...I know-I don't see that happening on my end. But, it would eliminate the influence that terrain has on blocking or bounding our signals around.
Last; Who had the Giant Motorola Canopy Patch Antenna?? How's that working out? Can't even find one on E-bay...where would you find something like that?
1 more thing; is there anyone out there using the Lilliput 664/7" monitor? Results, and is it worth the price?
