Ok so I bought the 1.2 gig setup for my fpv with the osd they sell. I was curious what freq it was transmitting on and to my amazement 1080.000 lets call it. This is not right as the legal ham band is 1.240 GHz - 1.300 GHz. I certainly am not legal and I am certainly not going to put my callsign in the osd for transmission. I am going to send an email to 3DR but I am not sure if anything is going to happen with that. Now I went to test the 900mhz telemetry and I can't even get it to read on my freq counter even with a direct feed into it. So I am not even sure if its 100 millwatts might be less but I guess I will deal with one thing at a time. The reason I was testing this is I was going to build some custom antennas for myself but its a dead stop with the 1.2 not being in the window and explains why some people might have problems with antennas as the antenna swr might be waaay off.

Or I can go in and do some switching then
no good ok bill i sent an email to 3d hopefully we can do a trade out on this.
From digging that model can be configured to use the 1280MHz band FCC approved HAM band. It appears you have an 'export' model.
