Monitoring helo video feeds?

[doctordave]

Noted the summary of a relatively new AOR wideband receiver which apparently has an optional card for monitoring video (see link below). Anyone know if a non-commercial receiver of this sort might be capable of receiving live video feeds from news choppers or law enforcement helos in the immediate area?

All depends on the band and format of the video.

There is no ONE right answer!

Those feeds are microwave. These are the listed specs for the radio in that range. It looks pretty pisspoor to me.


820 MHz - 3000 MHz NFM: 2.5 µV (12dB SINAD)

Would Not Bother

The only video band that is below 3000 mhz is the 2 gigahertz band. By next year most of the band is being reallocated for Nextel and the tv stuff will be squeezed up higher, smaller bandwith and digital. Joy.
