Russian Spektr broadband receiver paired with 21 dBi horn antenna achieves 25+ km FPV link

Published 27 October 2026

Field footage shows a “Spektr” broadband receiver from a Russian manufacturer integrated into an unnamed ground control station, paired with a 21 dBi horn antenna covering 4.8–6.1 GHz on a 12-metre mast. The combination maintained stable video and control link beyond 25 km, with a clean feed recovery observed after a momentary signal break at 37 seconds. The component is reported as currently available from the same distributor.
