UK power allocation

Posted by Peter Chaffe on October 23, 2011 at 9:33am

Sorry for asking this, but I've been googling most of the day...

5.8ghz band in the UK. What is the max legal power please ?

Or does anyone have a link?

    Yes, 25 mW on 5.8 GHz for analog video transmitters in the EU. WiFi protocol would allow more, but makes for a more complex system with no ready-made cheap hobbyist solutions. Buy or make good antennas to make the most of 25 mW. Look into circular polarization. High frequencies reflect a lot and multipathing is very detrimental to video reception, but circular polarization with good antennas makes a system practically immune to it. RCGroups has many threads on making antennas, so I recommend taking a look over there.
