I know this one looks like the other thread, but this is the transmitter on the quad, not the receiver. But I think I have a problem with both of them. Both of them after 15 minutes of being powered on were running about 175º. I did not expect this at all. So I am in need of a new VTX if you have one. If you don't, post up what you think is the best for the money.
below in the quote is what I posted in the other thread so that you know what is going on.

I'm sure you know by now that I'm trying to get back into FPV and I'm also trying to get back into my little 250 quads. Well, today I thought was the day that I was going to do just that. You see, today I received a new pair of antennas (RHCP) and I figured this would get rid of the issues I was having with horrible range. I'm talking 10' at most before you started to see some snow.
So I went out to do a little review of the new antennas and I wanted to pit them against the rubber duckies that I had on teh quad. Everything was done LOS because I knew I was going to lose signal. So I connected everything up with the video feed coming to my lappy and being recorded and off I went. I flew forward about 75 feet. Then I turned left and went over my house. It wasn't until I turned left again to come back to me that I lost signal. It was further than I expected to be honest. So, it was time to fit the clovers to the VTX and VRX.
Once fitted, I did the EXACT same pattern and I lost video about 50 feet out before the first turn!!!
The only thing that I can come up with is my VRX is not picking up the signal like it should.
Does anyone have one that they want to get rid of that is a GOOD ONE!? I would be very interested.
If no one has one, post up what you think is the best out there. I would like diversity, but at this time, I don't have that many antennas and I surely dont' have a patch or helical.
Post up your thoughts. I did record this whole flight, but it's very hard to watch.
