I've been slowly building up my ground station.
First it started off with a DVR unit. (Portable DVR for FPV)
Forum conversation.
Then I picked up a Quanum DIY FPV Goggle Set. I never indeeded to use the set as goggles but rather a monitor for my spotter or me.
The combination was working well but it did mean I had to have a wire coming off my goggles.
That is fine but recently my son was wearing them and almost took out the whole ground station when he turned.
So I put in an order for the cheapest FPV 5.8GHz receiver that could work with the FatShark frequencies.
Hiee FPV RC320 5.8GHz 32CH Sweep Frequency Receiver SMA
I'm on 5800 so that is FR4 CH4.
- The RC320 and the new camera.
- Simply testing to see if the system works.
Yes indeed. 44 is my number.
- Lets get wiring. I designed the whole setup to come part.
With this in mind I added a JST connector to the ESC +/- ports to power the RC320.
- The view from the new camera and Quanum-DIY-FPV setup.
- A nice feature is the RC-320 has dual AV out. 1 runs to the monitor and 2 runs to the DVR.
I found the DVR slow to boot so if there was ever a power bump I could be left without signal.
If I need to view the DVR I just need to swap the RCA wire.
So now I have a independent ground station and a back up for my FPV goggles.
Side note the connector for the ant/port is opposite to the FatShark gear.
So I can not use any of my current antennas.
(Antenna type: Receiver port RP-SMA jack, Antenna port RP-SMA plug)
If I have any reception issues I'll consider putting the RX up higher on a pole or make a 4 leaf
