Got my Oracle Diversity switch in as well as a second 900MHz Rx (which I promptly removed the guts of and put inside the diversity switch hard wired to the power and the Video #2 inputs). Powered it up and hooked everything up (including my previous 2-ch Rx wired into video #1 input). It switches very nice, but I need to probably give it a real test run out in the wild. Just 5 to 20 feet away, it wasn't that interesting (had to remove antennas and stuff to try to block the signal from one or the other). Sure hopes it works as well as I expect it to! Will run my 3dbi omni and the 8dbi patch to see how it works.Here are some pictures of the ground station with the 8dbi patch mounted on a pretty flimsy pvc pipe. The whole thing wiggles too much (needs a support down below to the neck. And it is a little bit of a PITA to break down very short for transport with the elevated patch. Need to cut the pipe and make it have a 1" coupler that easily just pulls apart. It is windy today, so, probably not going to get out and try it, but maybe tomorrow.
Hi - I am looking at the oracle diversity unit but am seeing perhaps the eagle eyes unit offers way more options? What is your opinion on both? Also, I have a RV 900Mhz 500mw system - will this work ok with the eagle eyes?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great info you've provided!
Yeah, the EE's has a lot more for less $$$ now. I've moved to that myself. The EE will work with your RV 900MHz system, for diversity, anyway, just won't work with telemetry/tracking without the Eagle Tree Systems OSD Pro and GPS...
