1.2GHz 2W Long Range VTX - 9CH Video Transmitter

Stop pretending your 5.8GHz rig enjoys flying behind wet British foliage. This 1.2GHz 2W VTX is built for high-penetration analogue video transmission across the 1060~1380 MHz band, punching clear signals straight through physical obstructions that instantly kill microwave links. Designed for extreme long-range UAV operations, it features full IRC Tramp telemetry control, native 2-8S battery input (7V-36V), and switchable 25mW / 2000mW RF output. Backed by Unmanned Tech’s 10 years of experience in the manufacturing and delivery of commercial FPV systems, this transmitter provides rock-solid performance when non-line-of-sight conditions get serious.

Disclaimer

UK Legal Restriction & Sales Policy: This video transmitter operates on frequencies and power levels that are NOT legal for unlicenced or recreational FPV flight within the UK. Unmanned Tech sells this equipment strictly to verified commercial entities, industrial research contacts, or overseas export customers operating under compliant jurisdictions. Furthermore, never power this unit on without an antenna securely fastened to the MMCX connector; radiating 2000mW into an open load will cook the RF power amplifier in seconds.

Key Highlights

• 2000mW Output Power: Toggle between 25mW pit mode and a brutal 2W transmission output across 9 channels to blast through dense terrain.
• Direct 2-8S LiPo Support: Wide DC 7V–36V operating range connects straight to flight packs without external step-down regulators or fragile BECs.
• Forced Thermal Management: Integrated CNC aluminium alloy radiator and micro cooling fan keep temperatures stable on the launch bench.
• IRC Tramp Telemetry: Shift channels and configure RF output power straight from your OSD without fiddling with DIP switches in muddy fields.

Why You Want It

Because watching your digital or 5.8GHz video feed break into freezing pixel blocks the second you dip below a tree line gets old immediately. The 1.2GHz wavelength diffracts around solid terrain where shorter frequencies fold. Yes, 2000mW of RF energy generates enough heat to warm our freezing Newport Pagnell warehouse, but the CNC heatsink and active cooling fan keep the magic smoke inside until you get airborne. Fitting standard 30.5x30.5mm mounting patterns, it drops neatly into dedicated long-range builds at a featherweight 16 grams.

FAQ

Is 1.2GHz video transmission legal to use for FPV in the UK?

No, not for licence-free hobbyist FPV. The 23cm band (1240–1325 MHz) is a secondary allocation in the UK, and Ofcom does not permit using Amateur Radio licences for airborne drone FPV or telecommand. Airborne operations require specific Ofcom authorisation (such as a UAS Radio Operator Licence).

Can this transmitter be powered straight from a 6S battery?

Yes. The DC 7V-36V input range natively accepts 2S through 8S LiPo packs, eliminating the need for an external step-down BEC.

Can I adjust the output power and channels via my flight controller?

Yes. With built-in IRC Tramp protocol support, you can switch between 25mW and 2000mW and change channels directly via your OSD or radio handset.
