This DiY 5.8GHz 100mW audio/video (A/V) transmitter kit provides a custom printed circuit board and quality electronic components. Assembly is required; suitable for amateur radio hobbyists and RF technicians.
Airwave's AWM681TX RF module is included. The kit utilizes SMD components, so electronic soldering experience is essential. Once assembled, all you need to supply is a 5.8GHz antenna, camera audio/video, and battery power. Our 5.8Ghz receiver kit (available separately) is a perfect mate to this exciting A/V system.
Using FM modulation, it sends high bandwidth composite video and
stereo audio signals to compatible A/V receivers. Fully supports NTSC and PAL video formats. Best of all, the assembled transmitter is very compact and lightweight.
Operating this transmitter will require a ham radio license for hobby applications. Some countries may prohibit use. Please consult your government's spectrum regulations before using this device.
