FPV in IRL
kankrz:
900/1800 MHz band is used by cell phones. I wouldn't go this way..
I don't want to write my next post from behind the bars :)
2.4G and 10mW ... maybe a little bit more :)
Another alternative is 440MHz for video. Advantage of this system is that it would be possible to fly with company of 2.4G and 35 MHz RC transmitters. I found the webside with very tiny TX.

Hi,
I'm interested in hearing a bit more about the frequencies available to use for FPV. My understanding is that frequencies in the 1.2Ghz range are also quite popular in europe and looking at this recent Comreg doc it looks like there is some scope for usage. Caveat being I presume that you must be HAM licensed to use these frequencies (and probably not allowed from a moving transmitter now that I think of it). Any comments?
Happy Days:
Well, interesting point Lakelands. :?:
I believe Ham, (Amateur Radio) licences do allow for mobile use of transmitting equipment. However to use amateur radio equipment onboard an aircraft, know as operating as ‘Aeronautical Mobile,’ you must first have permission from the ‘Pilot in Command’ which presumably would be yourself. :wink:
So on that basis you probably could use you own equipment,………..provided, as you say, that you first have an amateur radio licence to use the band, and be sure that the type of video signal you want to transmit is allowed within that band. :!:
That’s a lot of studying just to get a video downlink. :shock:
Phew!!
K.
lakelands:
Time to get out the study books so! :lol:
In the states the course for a license is apparently easy enough with lots of sample questions and self tests available. I think the irish one is a bit more demanding. I am seriously tempted to do some *practical* experiments first :D .
Happy Days:
Not that I would ever advocate the illegal use of radio transmitting apparatus! :shock: But bearing in mind the very limited Effective Radiated Power of most low cost/light weight video Tx, I very much doubt anyone else in Ireland would ever know you were using it, much less track down the source of the transmissions’ and prosecute you.
(Unless you were flying near a densely populated housing/industrial area)
