I must change this thing more often than my socks, but have finally found what was looking for. Wish i'd have started here, but then i wouldn't have such a nice rx. This thing is the bomb, penetrates anything and has an unbelievably clear picture. the sound is super clean too. Through walls, down in valleys, it shows it all. When discovery gets here, i'll swap over the quad too

Your looking at a 1258Mhz crosshair RHCP receiver. 8.5db gain going into the new Digital RMRC vRx out of that into the Eagle Eyes then out of that into a 5.8 vTx and out to the DVR, 32mb, 30fs, 640x480. From there the back of my 22" monitor has a uno 5.8 vRx, cloverleaf and the Goggles also pick that feed up, SPW on that. Been ponderin leaving my quad 5.8 so then can use a straight monitor or goggles, but i really like the quality of the picture enough to warrant blowing out that idea. Tried it last trip out without the dvr and it worked killer. Can put it up on the roof or up on a hill for the best of situations

Wound up hardwiring the video out and the power in to clean up the install. bnc to rca wasn't my style. All the antennas shown are homemade

just tried building a 5.8 crosshair, want to try it on the goggles and see how it works. there kinda addictive once the formulas make since and you get the tricks figured out. has the same footprint as the cannon but no 12" thing sticking out. it should be something like 10db gain, 30-40 degree beam. should liven up straignt goggle transmission

loaded the back fitting with hotglue so can hang it off the sma. the reflector is 13mmx13mm to make the 10db gain, can trim it down to 8mmx8mm and only loose 2-3db gain and the beam opens up wider. these are a relatively simple receiver patch for RHCP to match with your cloverleafs, SPW or fan vTx antennas

Gonna use the the canon and the crosshair for 2.4ghz and for 5.8ghz a heliaxial and a normal blue beam.

The cube is not that big so I will be hot swapping the antennas for what ever i fly. 5.8ghz will get tracking.

At the moment there are two law mate 2.4 tuned TBS installed with a Eagle tree diversity. For 5.8 Ghz i will stay with the standard Duo 5800

jape still have to mount it in a way that it stay movable for a second person.

and than redo the whole thing again since i won't combine 2.4ghz and 5.8ghz in one cube but make two different one.
