FPV Brief Case Ground Station

This is an aluminum brief case ground station that I made over the Summer of 2016. It is very handy and quick to setup. I can store multiple batteries inside along with props, spare antenna, and other things. It's great to setup so other people can view what I am seeing when I look through my goggles. I can also setup a DVR to record off the receiver too.

Hey , nice case!!! great winter project .
Just one question , power on the RX without the antenna , is this ok ? I heard that this could burn your Tx if you do this , is this different with a Rx ?

For a receiver, there is no problem to have an antenna attached or not.
A transmitter is different, if there is no protection circuit to attenuate the power you can burn things up. The only time you need to worry about no antenna on a receiver is when there is an active amplifier between the antenna and receiver. Unless you are running a very specialized custom build you do not need to worry about it. As far as I know all of our FPV receivers are passive, which means there is no amplifier between the receiver and antenna.
Hope this helps answer your question.
