Trying to mount the antenna outside my vehicle

Where to find parts? Refactoring your entire transmitter, new cases? Sticks etc..

Trying to mount the antenna outside my vehicle

Post by rifled »

I am trying to fly FPV using my indash DVD player but I'm concerned that the truck will block the 2.4ghz signal. I am using a removable FRSKY module in the back of my Turnigy 9x. Has anyone ever tried to make a sort of extention cord going from the pins on the back of the radio to the module? I would like to plug a connector into the pins connected to a ribbon cable and run it out of my window to the FrySky Module which would be on top of my truck.

Is this possible? and does anyone know where I could get the connectors that would fit the back of the radio and the module? Any advice would be appreciated.

Yep, no issue. They're simple 0.1" headers.

this is interesting. I assume your video rx is on top of the truck and run a video wire with RCA jack to your DVD player inside the truck?

Is there any limitation on how long this header can be for ppm signal?
