FlySpark 8G Long-Range FPV VTX-F17 | 3W Analog Video Transmitter Module | 7260MHz–8200MHz

Key facts

At a glance

The FlySpark 8G VTX-F17 is an analog FPV video transmitter module covering 7260–8200 MHz on 48 channels with selectable output from 25 mW up to 3 W (3000 mW) plus PIT mode. It takes DC 7–36 V input, provides a 5 V output, uses an SMA antenna connector and supports IRC control and OSD parameter adjustment in a 48.5 × 35 × 18.2 mm body. It is intended for long-range FPV, fixed-wing and UAV video-link integration by operators who hold the required spectrum authorisation.

Use cases

• 8G analog FPV video links for long-range FPV drones
• Fixed-wing FPV and UAV video transmission
• RF test platforms and drone R&D
• Inspection and authorised surveillance UAV video
• Video band separation from common 1.2G–5.8G FPV systems

Standards & references

• ITU Radio Regulations — International allocation table for the 7260–8200 MHz range the VTX-F17 transmits in.
• India National Frequency Allocation Plan 2022 (DoT, WPC Wing) — States that a WPC licence is required before using spectrum in India unless exempted; 7260–8200 MHz is not in the NFAP-2022 list of licence-exempt bands.
• WPC licensing (Department of Telecommunications, Saral Sanchar portal) — Portal for WPC licences, including import and experimental licences, relevant to operating a 3 W transmitter.
