Default RE: Good radio for FPV

I think most if not all mentioned radios will work at the distance that you are targeting. However, like most other fpv-ers, after some time you will want to go out further and then nothing is better than one of the 433MHz add-ons that you connect to your radio.
Can you explain in more detail?
I would get a Turnigy 9X from Hobbyking for the 9 (well, 8 actually I think) channels it has. Then I would install other software (see www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php, the software by Erazz) to have more channels, easier programming and more - backlight lcd). Then I would have to make a decision between a few products that connect this transmitter to make it work in/on the UHF band (433MHz). You might want to have a HAM license for this, but I bet that many haven't.

These UHF products make you have a really long range, at least 20km.

The products to choose from are:
- T.L.R.S. from Thomas Scherrer (google)
- DragonLink from DragonLabs (mentioned in this thread, above this post)
- EzUHF from ImmersionRC
- Chainlink From BEVRC (BirdsEye View RC)

I think more products are coming. In the FPV section at the other side there is a wealth of information about these products.Each products has their own thread there and most of these thread are on the 1st two pages.

Let me know if you need more information.
