Default RE: Good radio for FPV

ORIGINAL: katarinaconnors

Being a ham I have older equipment (futaba 9v) with 50 MHz module.. It would seem reasonable to amplify this to a few watts and get great range?... Has anyone done this? I would imagine my stock 6 meter stuff would be more effective than my newer 2.4 radios. Although I have never had an issue with any of them doing normal flying...
That seems reasonable to me also, 6meter definitely transmits better through vegetation. Just remember if you have a video transmitting at the microwave frequencies, you'll need to maintain line of sight. I think amateur freq s aren't discussed much because of the rarity of their use. I've always wanted to use the frequency but never delved into it enough to find the equipment.
