Hi everyone,

we have simple problem with our Video RX/TX from Octo.

Our config is:

5,8 GHz Iftrontech AV NANO Stinger Transmitter (25mW)
and
5,8 GHz Iftrontech Passport AV- Diversity Receiver

But we have a video-loss just about 20-30 m between MK and receiver (direct view without obstacles). We've tried bigger antennas but without any improve.

TX is supplied directly from Octo's Power Distribution board. Maybe there is a problem, should be the TX supplied from separated LiPo?

Thank you for advices.

Hi George,

Where did you place your Transmitter Antenna? Pls show us a Photo.
What Receiver antenna do you use?

Did you power up the Transmitter without Antenna? This will damage the Transmitter !

Hi Krut,

transmitter and antenna orientation is the same as on Holger's MK here:

We use original antennas on Receiver (have tried bigger, but very likely dual-band, what is not good, but the distance was the same...)

nope, transmitter was always with antenna... If should be Transmitter damaged, it shouldn't works at all, or not?
