Since I am mounting the camera on a R/C plane, it must be light as
posible, I am not going to add or change the Tx power (more power =
bigger battery) so we can forget about the legal side (the Tx is rated
FCC part 15). I want to make my own dipole which I want to build into
the tail fin. I will do a bit of research into the formula for a dipole.
How would changing the antenna change the spec IRW wattage?
So that leaves me with the Rx, since this is on the ground, weight is
not a problem, I will look into the loop Yagi.
What is MMIC amplifiers, Dave?
