OSD : Quantracker Air OSD V2.1 (http://www.fpvhub.com/index.php/topic,21849.0.html)
Tracker : Quantracker DIY Antenna Tracker (http://www.fpvhub.com/index.php/topic,8550.0.html)
RcRx : Frsky old D4R-II
RcTx FrSky old DHT module
Vtx Old Immersion 5.8 GHz 25 mW
Vrx Old Immersion Uno..
EDIT: Vrx Antenna is the exact one in the pic here http://www.zoomworks.org/fpv/helical_antenna/index.html (http://www.zoomworks.org/fpv/helical_antenna/index.html)
Vtx Antenna is a homemade skew planar
Could probably do better if I got this Dish antenna (http://www.fpvhub.com/index.php/topic,19415.msg157165.html#msg157165) working.
That's very impressive for 25mW! :o

Yep.. In moving from my old MinimOSD to new Prototype OSD I removed a UBEC and also tidied up the wiring, putting a lot more wires in shielded cables. Also got rid of previous airborne unit.
When I went up yesterday everythig felt pretty good and found I could just keep on going!
I could have gone further on this run except for my fellow FPVer flying by with his power hungry Vtx :laugh:. On the vid there seems to be some correlation between the sound of his motor (indicating he is close to my GS and DVR) and my Video dropping out... :D
