So for the last year I have been very interested in long range fpv and I am looking into making a ground-station. Previously I have been using a 1.2ghz system that you can pick up on ebay for about 60$, I'll have a link somewhere in here. I plan on using a 1.2ghz system again and there are two thing that I want to have 1.) An FPV box, like the one Peter made a couple years ago (link somewhere in here) 2.) antenna tracking. I know I can do the FPV box but this is the part that is throwing me off. I would like the antenna tracking setup to be under 150$ (Excluding receivers, antennas, batteries, and hardware) I have seen some people make a 50$ 5.8ghz antenna tracker with a diversity receiver but I want to use a 1.2ghz frequency. I have seen some things like the EZ antenna tracker and the Eagle-tree Eagle-eyes systems but they are both way over my budget. The eagle-eyes system is 100$ but I think you need the 250$ Eagle-tree VECTOR to have antenna tracking. So here is the quest summed up...
Goal: 1.2ghz antenna tracker under 150$
Problem: cost too much to buy stock and no DIY solutions for 1.2ghz
Solution A: Make a diy antenna tracker for 1.2ghz
Solution B: Find A way to use the eagle-tree eagle-eyes ground station without the flight VECTOR
This is sort of the end goal for me. I can make the station that the electronics lay on and I already have the receivers and antennas, I just need some help making an affordable electronics setup. Any sort of input would be appreciated.
