I never powered on the Tx without an antenna, and it still transmits audio.
Crap I am using a 2.4 ghz frsky. Should I sell this and get a different frequency, one that doesn't require a HAM license? (if there is one)
I was using a crazepony camera

Edit: If I am going to get a different system going I am going to try and sell this one so I may as well try and get it working before that.
Are there any systems of tx's and rx's that would be around 100$? I have the camera and screen so all I need are those.
Edit2: So I just took out a voltmeter and measured the pins that go to the camera and guess what I found, the camera has no voltage going to it, the board may be fried. This is pretty dissappointing but I guess I can try hooking the camera up directly to the battery.
Edit3: well it works now, I solved my own problem... I also see no video feed interference with my transmitter turned on. Would it be good to put a cloverleaf antenna onto the vtx? I don't know much about this but I think it would help.
One more quick question, how much would I be risking by flying for 30 minutes with fpv without a ham license. I tried once and I failed (didn't study enough) and I didn't try again because I couldn't get it to work. I am going out to fly this weekend but the next test is in a month. I know other people in my club with a ham license so I could "hide" behind them if needed. I am just super excited to try it out and don't want to wait another month. Currently I do all of my testing in less than 1 min spurts at 2-3 AM to avoid others, (although I shouldn't need to do it any more). I have the 1W transmitter too so I don't know how easy it would be to detect.
