Default RE: 200mw NW802 Wireless Camera any good?

Fubar speaks the truth. I have ordered the blackwidowAV system to replace my Hong Kong camera (roughly what you are talking about). The cheapo I am using now works OK but has many drop-outs at any distance. I bought a 50mw (200mw input power) all in one 1.2 GHz camera/tx from EBay and put it on my Aerobird. The other big downside of these systems is the operate on frequencies that are not legal to use in the US (I did not realize this until I read postings here). The 2.4 GHz systems sold by BlackWidowAV and others operate in Ham bands that can be legally used with a technition class license (very easy to get). Here is a sample of video taken with my current setup, I hope to have the 2.4GHz system up and running in a couple of weeks (depending on when it gets shipped).
