For the past few years, I've been using the ImmersionRC UNO vrx. It does have two video outputs, which is nice, but no diversity. I can only have 1 antenna on it. I'm going to be looking into getting a new vrx with diversity. I have been thinking about the ImmersionRC DUO because it has two video outputs and has two connectors on it for two antennas. However, the DUO is $150.
On the other hand, DOG has been talking with me about his ground station and he's looking at this vrx

That vrx is $45 (considerably cheaper than the ImmersionRC). Would there be any reason that this vrx would not work with any of my 5.8ghz gear?

Re: Looking for a new vrx
I have found the Immersion Duo to be an excellent rx, mine is the v3 with only 7 or 8 channels, I believe the newer ones have 40 or thereabouts.
I don't know about the Luminier unit, I have another 40 channel rx but it definitely does not pick up the Immersion/FS channels as well as the Immersion one.
Most of my TXs are Immersion so for me, there is not much sense in changing, although I now have the "Furious True-D V3.6 Diversity Receiver System" for my goggles, it works great and is much more portable.

Re: Looking for a new vrx
Thanks for that, Stambo! Maybe I need to check the specs on the Lumenier vrx. Most vrx listings will show what channels it operates with, then compare that to the channels that my Uno already works with.

Derek if you can afford it get the new Clearview goggles vrx that's coming out, its supposed to be the bee's knees, me I have the True-d V3 and that is a very good vrx.

Re: Looking for a new vrx
I am in the process of getting new goggles but i also need a ground station. I need a vrx with diversity and the dual video outputs.
