In the near future three of us radio operators in the CLT area are starting a project where we strap a Wouxun KG-UV8D cross-banding HT to a drone. Our goal will be testing at various altitudes, up to 400 feet (higher with FAA approval). We will test HT to drone to HT Simplex, HT to drone to base station Simplex and HT to drone to repeaters. The goal will be to methodically compile data on working distances and developed techniques.
We will be using a DJI Phantom 3 Standard, DJI Phantom 3 Professional and DJI Inspire 1 from a single base location for all tests. Altitudes will likely be at 100, 200, 300 and 400 feet.
This project will span some time. I will use this thread to give progress reports, if anyone is interested. Questions and comments are welcome.
