new user. first thread. Hi to members.

[Peterje]

 hi all.
Please assist in some advice:
While flying Fpv I'm finding that I'm getting interference from my radio.
If I hold the radio up to the goggles i receive minor interference.
As soon as I fly in excess of 30m away the interference becomes worse.
If I hold the radio and give the goggles to someone 10m away no interference is noted.

can someone advise please.

First, welcome to the forum!

To your issue, without knowing what your setup consists of, there is no way to know what is happening. Is your quad's VTX WiFi? Most radios are 2.4ghz and the radio can interfere with WiFi based. You can switch your channel and see if the issue is lessened.

Again, welcome!

Hi kaitylynn thanks for response.

VTX not WIFI. TBS. omnibus F4 controller. Q7 radio.

Interference evident especially is start motors.

Hi and welcome!

Yeah, I think it'd be helpful to know which radio, which VTx, and which goggles/VRx(if modular) you're using.

If the two are interfering it's likely that they're working on the same frequencies but that seems strange unless it's wifi as Kaitylynn points out above. I know that some pilots use the 2.4ghz bands but that's a little more rare and usually more advanced folks who are looking for long range or penetration.

Alternatively... if you have any way to see if your radio interferes with other goggles, and vice versa that might help to at least troubleshoot if it's your goggles accepting unexpected interference or if it's the radio giving unexpected interference...

edit: you posted between my start and posting of my message lol...

hmmm... interesting. So a TBS with a QX7 radio... If it's happening especially with motors, are you sure that your attempts to separate the radio from the goggles is actually clearing it up as much as you think? Realistically I can't think of any reason that signal being sent from the radio would be significantly different when the quad is armed than when it's not.

Hi Carl,

In discussion with others, we are going to swap out the VTX and check if still occurring.
Will send the result.

Just very frustrating when enjoying FPV.

Welcome to the group!
I am brand new too this hobby so I can’t answer your question, however I hope you get it figured out. If anyone can help you, it’s the kind ladies and gents here, lots of nice, knowledgeable people.
Again, welcome

Welcome. You are saying that when someone holds your goggles, you can fly 30m away and the video is fine.

You also mentioned that video is bad when motors are running.

These are two different issues here. VTX runs on 5.8Ghz and should have any interference with Taranis running 2.4ghz. On the other hand, motor noise causing video issues is a common thing. I can help you with video noise. How are you wiring everything up? Are you using cap?
