Don't know whether you have seen this site, Bruce. http://www.desert-wolfe.com/PICPilot/AX ... _Prt1.html
Just thought you might be interested as you were getting the Floater, I believe.

If you have a diversity switch and multiple receivers then it becomes a fairly simple job to cover the entire area you intend flying in (so as to avoid null points) and even a relatively low-power video transmitter can go a *long* way if you're using a 15-20dBi antenna on the receiver. Also, if you're intent on using 2.4GHz for your video, a directional receiver antenna will significantly reduce the amount of off-beam noise you are picking up.
In practical use, I'd expect (for example) to get at least 25Kms line of site using a 500mW 5.8GHz receiver and a reasonably hi-gain receiver antenna.
