Product Description
When 10W isn't enough to hold your video link together at the edge of your range, this 1.2GHz 20W signal booster provides the extra margin you need. Delivering 43dBm (20W) of output with 20dB TX gain and 18dB RX gain, it amplifies both directions of the link across the 1160-1280MHz band—the frequency range prized by long-range FPV pilots for its superior penetration through trees, buildings, and terrain. Running on 12-24V DC with SMA female connectors and a standard 5.5 × 2.1 mm power jack, it fits neatly into existing ground stations and UAV setups. The compact 118 × 59 × 17 mm aluminum enclosure weighs just 0.2 kg, making it easy to mount without adding bulk.
Typical Applications
- Extreme Long-Range FPV: Push video and control links beyond standard 10W limits
- High-Interference Environments: Cut through RF noise in urban or industrial areas
- UAV Telemetry & Command: Maintain stable bidirectional links over long distances
- Public Safety & Border Patrol: Reliable two-way UHF coverage in remote terrain
- Maritime & Coastal Operations: Strengthen vessel-to-shore links over water
- Amateur Radio (23cm Band): Higher output for licensed 1.2GHz experimental work

Key Advantages
The jump from 10W to 20W adds roughly 3dB of link margin—which in real-world terms can mean the difference between a usable link and a lost one at the far edge of your coverage. With 43dBm on transmit and 18dB on receive, this booster keeps both directions balanced, so you're not just heard farther—you can hear back clearly too. That symmetry matters for telemetry and command links, where a strong outbound signal is useless if the return path drops out.
The 12-24V DC input range gives you flexibility in how you power the unit, whether from a 3S-6S LiPo, a vehicle electrical system, or a solar-charged battery bank. The 5.5 × 2.1 mm jack is one of the most common DC connectors in field equipment, and the SMA female ports mate directly with standard antennas and cables. The aluminum housing handles heat and vibration well, making it suitable for mobile, pole-mounted, or vehicle installations.
Tuned for 1160-1280MHz, it covers the standard 1.2GHz FPV channels plus adjacent telemetry and amateur allocations. If you've been flying with a 10W booster and still losing video behind obstacles or at long range, stepping up to 20W is a simple way to add serious margin without rebuilding your entire RF chain.
