Guys,
While in Texas the VTX on my JJPro P200 started to give me some headaches. It worked fine for a bit, then the 600mw setting died. I've never powered it up with the antenna off or left it powered on while idle for any extended period of time. I could drop to the 25mw setting and it would power up fine. I tried the "baking" process and it didn't help. I decided that I would just replace the VTX and be done with it. I could not find an exact replacement so I ended up purchasing a different one that switches between 25, 200 & 600mw and installed it. I tested it indoors and it appeared to be fine. When I took it to my flying site and attempted to fly, this is what I got through the goggles and what recorded on my FS DVR:
I figured I'd take a look at it again once I got home. I just tested it again, indoors and then pointed it out the window and this is what I got:
The snow on the screen is static, it doesn't move with the image. When I first saw it in Texas it looked like the camera lens was cracked when viewed through my goggles. Obviously, that wasn't the case. Also, note that the "noise" level of the audio increases as more light is introduced.
Has anyone seen something like this or have any idea what might be causing it? Any recommended troubleshooting or a possible fix?
Thanks in advance for any help!
