[Scan-DC] Video of one of my drones

[John Wilson]

Here are the drone control frequencies:

CH. 1 = 5,885 MHZ.
CH 2 =  5,905 MHZ.
CH 3 =  5,925 MHZ.
CH 4 =  5,945 MHZ.
CH 5 =  5,705 MHZ.
CH 6 =  5,865 MHZ.
CH 7 =  5,665 MHZ.
CH 8 =  5,634 MHZ.

I don't know what the maximum power input is for control but assuming it 
is a 100 or even 500 milliwatts at 5 ghz. at best the range control 
would not be very far...maybe LOS.  That's probably why 5 ghz. was 
chosen as the control frequencies range.  If I ever used a drone for 
sure I want it preprogramed for GPS to return it to a specific lat/lon 
if control comms were lost.

I think the video downlinks typically are in the 900 or 2.4 ghz ranges 
depending on the manufacturer..
