HV-122

Full HD 2-Way Diversity Digital TV Receiver

TV/1.2GHz/2.4GHz bands support — For HAM and FPV

170–862 MHz / 2100–2550 MHz / 170–2700 MHz

HV-122 is a 1080 Full HD diversity receiver box which receives and decodes DVB-T (ETSI EN 300 744) HD/SD terrestrial broadcast signals, with HDMI and Composite (CVBS) video output. It is designed with 2-way diversity antenna reception, which can enhance high mobility support and mitigate multi-path effect.

  • There is a saw filter in the RF front end. The saw filter limits the reception range but minimize ACI (adjacent channel interference).
  • When the saw filter removed, full band range is supported but poorer ACI. The sensitivity is ~20dB less at 170~700MHz.
  • Specifications are subject to change without prior notice.
