I did not plan on testing "RTL" this flight however when I swamped my RC TX it worked flawlessly, now time switch up the video TX. A lopass filter was used however I assume it is the culprit. The wind picked up to 15-20 knots right before this flight and I called it a day. Looking forward to getting this back up in the air after the weather system moves through. To cover all the bases I will test a UHF RC Tx also.

If I use a 2.4 ghz maybe a pair of LocoM5's, is it realistic to think that if I add a serial to ethernet module I can then pass my mavlink data on a separate IP?
yes it is just another gremlin to chase, and I will see how the ezUHF behaves. Ultimately I think I am going to coordinate the Freqs, using the 2.4 Ghz range, combining the RC control and the Video. Now that I have the latency where I want it I need to finish up the setup and move it from the bench to the aircraft.
As you know, RF problems can be frustrating, esp when you can clear up a problem while bench testing, only to have more problems show up once you get into the air and move away from the RC TX.
PLus, its impossible to move the antennae further apart on a quad, especially mini-quad.
I wonder about the UHF though, since I hear many of the cameras emit noise around the low bands.
I hope you find a solution, but good to know the RTL insurance works.
