1.3 GHz Ground Station Initial Setup

2/15/18: See updated schematic here.

Today I mounted all the equipment onto the back of the Crosshair antenna. My plan is to use the Crosshair as the base, because it attaches directly to the tripod. With all the gear attached to the back of the Crosshair on the tripod, it is easy to make setup changes, such as changing the video receiver antennas.

The idea is that if I am flying far, I'll manually aim the Crosshair (the tripod) in the direction of the flight, and swap back to the Airblade for flying around in closer.

This is what is wired up on the back of the tripod now.
