Readytosky 1.2G/1.3G VRX FPV Video Receiver

Tired of your 5.8GHz video feed giving up the ghost behind a single damp British oak tree? The Readytosky 1.2G/1.3G VRX is an external analog video receiver engineered for punishing long-range FPV systems. Operating across the 1080–1360 MHz frequency range with a solid sensitivity rating down to -97 dBm, this module punches your analog signal through foliage and terrain that turns standard GHz links into pure static. With over 10 years of experience in the manufacturing and delivery of commercial FPV systems, we test and supply hardware that actually survives the bench and the field. Plug it straight into your Fat Shark or Skyzone goggles via AV input, wire it to your ground station monitor, and stop praying to the RF gods every time you dip behind a hill.

Key Highlights

• Sub-GHz Signal Penetration: 9 selectable channels across 1080–1360 MHz (including 1280 MHz and 1258 MHz) for superior multi-path rejection and long-range link budget.
• High Sensitivity: Reception sensitivity rated down to -97 dBm (operational range -95 dB to +5 dB) to pull usable video out of the noise floor.
• Plug-and-Fly Goggle Integration: Direct AV output hookup via included jack cable for Fat Shark, Skyzone, and standalone analog monitors.
• Instant Status: Simple pushbutton channel switching with 9 dedicated red status LEDs—no deciphering cryptic blink codes in direct sunlight.

Why You Want It: Readytosky 1.2G/1.3G VRX Reliability

Modern digital HD setups are great until you fly behind a hedge and the entire feed freezes into digital confetti. When pure range and raw signal penetration matter, 1.2GHz and 1.3GHz analog remains undefeated. At just 20 grams, this compact metal-cased unit easily mounts to a tripod ground station or directly onto your goggle strap. Backed by our decade of commercial and hobbyist FPV expertise, it delivers uncompressed, zero-latency PAL/NTSC video so you can recover your craft before the magic smoke escapes.

FAQ

How do I change channels on the Readytosky 1.2G/1.3G VRX?

Channels are switched sequentially by a short press of the onboard hardware button. The active channel corresponds directly to the active LED among the 9 red indicator lights.

Can I connect this receiver directly to Fat Shark or Skyzone FPV goggles?

Yes. The receiver outputs a standard analog composite video signal that connects directly to the 3.5mm AV-in port on compatible FPV goggles or analog ground station monitors using the supplied jack cable.

What power supply does this receiver require?

The unit requires a regulated 5V DC power source. Do not power it directly from high-voltage LiPo flight packs without a 5V BEC.
