Maybe it’s time for a change….in my case i really consider to sell all my Foxtech FPV Equipment and buy some ImmersionRC Nexwave equipment (although it’s much more expensive and out of stock very often).
The reason why is the fact that new Foxtech receivers (not only new models, also actual Versions of the old RC305 give worse range than old RC305 receivers. It seems Foxtech/Boscam etc. have a serious problem with their quality checks or their actual load of SkyRF chips.
What i tested and what really made me upset is this:
– bought 6 new RC305 receivers
– bought 3 units of the DG58-2 Diversity receiver
– bought 3 units of the new 32ch Receiver RC832
Now all the bad stuff that i recognized, while testing those receivers:
– 5 out of 6 new RC305 Receivers will only give 70-80% of the range that i get from my 2 year old RC305 receivers
– one of the DG58-2 Receivers died (one module dead) and the other two DG58-2 receivers have descent range on one module and poor range on the other module…so this is CRAP!
– all three new 32CH Receivers (RC832) are working (i can use them on ImmersionRC frequencies as well as the Foxtech frequencies), but all of them gave me only 50-60% of the range, that i get out of my 2.5 years old RC305 receivers
After all that testing, i am fed up with every new receiver that i bought from Foxtech and many FPV buddies have experienced the same problem.
Besides that, i have to tell you how “what the fuck?” i felt, when i checked my new RC832 32ch RX…all the other Foxtech receivers got a 3.5mm connection with female cinch connector, to connect it to my FatShark. This new unit got a 2.5mm connector and male cinch……what the fuck is wrong with foxtech?
ImmersionRC is also not perfect…i got massive problems with their transmitters (video tearing), but the new Nexwave receivers are great and i will give them another try.

Versuche den 32CH TX (TX832) von Foxtech, empfange mit Nexwave ImmersionRC RX, …. wobei ich in einem Video die unterschiedlichen Sendeleistung des 32CH sehen konnte. Hier sind manche FoX Frequenzen stark (ca. 40-80%) und manch andere Frequenzen nur 10-20%. Bei 600 mW bleibt da manchmal nicht viel mehr wie 60mW. Ich frage mich schon lange, wie solche Unterschiede in einem Modul möglich sind. Bei Antennen gehts dann weiter, … hier kann eine breitbandige oder eine genau geeichte Antenne nochmal Unterschiede liefern. Ein langer Weg,… und ich bin jetzt schon ein Jahr dabei – fühle mich manchmal wieder wie “zurück auf Start”. Kein einfaches Thema.
Danke für die Info, bezüglich der Kanäle und deren Power. Meine Antennen sind relativ breitbandig für ~5,88GHz, und mit dem bisherigen Setup habe ich auch auf allen Kanälen relativ identische Reichweiten.
In 2 Wochen habe ich hoffentlich Zeit, den ImmersionRC 600er einzubauen. Wenn das Bild sauber ist, wechsle ich evtl., einfach weil Foxtech in letzter Zeit so viel Murks macht (das hat ImmersionRC zwar auch, aber seit Nexwave, kann man die schon empfehlen).
The Video tearing from the old ImmersionRC VTx/VRx you can solve it with a New version of the ImmersionRC Power Box, It’s cheaper that changing my trusty Old Duo and VTx’s.. Cheers.
Pablo.
Thanks for the tip. The new nexwave receivers should also solve that tearing problem, but they don’t (tested it). Ober 100$ is pretty expensive for just a powerbox.
Now it’s half the price.

I was about to buy the RC832 because immersionrc UNO5800v2 is out of stock EVERYWHERE, should I wait?
yeah, i would wait for the IRC DUO (not v2!, you need the v3 with nexwave modules)
