"Could you claim that video transmitters are used to automatically indicate or record measurements of the visual spectrum at a distance from the measuring instrument, thereby falling under the definition of telemetry?"

"This is potentially very damaging for the 2009 UAV Outback Challenge. If the ACMA rules change to ban video on 2.4GHz Challenge teams still flying analog 2.4GHz video, would be disqualified for spectrum non-compliance. The organising comitee would…"

"I have sent a written comment in. Basically I outlined that these transmissions, if done correctly cause no interference to other users. However the loophole being used is not and there needs to be a new item defined in the LIPD license for FM video."

"Last year there was a large degree of radio interference from these types of transmissions. I suspect this is a bid to address the problems faced by groups trying to control their planes last year."

"Their definition of "Telecommand" does not seem to refer to simple downlinks, but rather uplinks with the purpose of adjusting the onboard settings or programming.. Are they really talking about video and OSD downlinks? I don't see…"

"I agree with Angus - In short, if you are using a "telemetry" device then no video (unless you are a part 58 500-900 range @12uW!) But you should still be able to use video, just not under this license. What regulations cover consumer…"

"I also came across this today. I've sent an email to the ACMA regarding this and reccomendations for telemetry and video for the challenge. I also asked Mick what previous teams had used as I noticed some American teams had used 900mhz in the…"

"It is pretty ovbious/logical to see their reasoning, at least from a technical point of view. Basically, Video is not Telemetry. Telemetry is generally pretty low bandwidth, video is not. The transmitting of your callsign over the OSD has always…"

Modification to Class License 2000 - Exclusion of video telemetry

G'Day all,



On checking some legislation for entry to the 2009 Outback Challenge I noticed that ACMA are amending class license 2000 to specifically exclude the use of video under the provision for telemetry transmitters. (OSD telemetry)



The reasoning given doesn't make any logical sense to me, I'd appreciate a review by one of you more technically savvy DIY Droners on the validity of the reason for the change. Quoted below-
