Ok, so a few months back I crashed my f550 and broke the frame. I decided on building a TBS discovery to get into FPV.
My symptoms are, I cant make it 20m before I loose all signal, even at 2m its practically not visible. The video quality is 100% not useable for FPV. I thought maybe it was because I was inside my house bench testing it. So I took it out to a park yesterday and it was a tiny bit better but still terrible. Can some one please help?
Along with the TBS frame, core and tin sheild I bought a TBS 69 camera. For the TX and RX I bought the 1.3GHz receiver with SAW filter upgrade and the 400mw 1.3GHz Transmitter from readymaderc.
For the aerials I went with the IBCRAZY clover leaf and skew Planar combo. I also purchased the skew planar antenna set from True Wireless to test the difference if any.
Here are the links if it helps.

My discovery is running Naza without GPS, and using it with a Graupner GR-16 and currently have it wired up using PPM output to minimise wiring, but will change back to normal when my short servo leads turn up from hobbyking. (There are some glitches and jitter which can bee seen in the assistant software.) When I throttle up it looks like the signal gets a little worse.
The other strange thing is my; Iftron 5.8GHz 500mw system has far better quality even inside the house, which leads me to think there isnt excessive interference happening in and around the house.
Can some one please help me? Im lost. I took the tx and camera out the Disco and wired them up separately to test if it was an issue with the Disco, but I get the same issue virtually no image and no range.
This is what the video looks like when its sitting on the ground with the throttle off about 1m from the receiver:

This is about the best I can get when its flying, this is about 2m up and 3-5m away.

Here are a few images that might help diagnose my problem?
