Bands, Channels, and Frequencies
Depending upon the Tramp variant purchased, the power output level, and available transmit
frequencies can vary.
It is highly recommended to understand the rules and regulations in your country before using the
Tramp. Transmitting outside a legal band is something frowned upon by the authorities, and may
result in a fine, or confiscation of equipment.
For the EU version of the Tramp, the following frequencies are available (highlighted in green).

Thermal Regulation
This is an area where the Tramp differs from most 5.8GHz video transmitters on the market.
Transmitters of this size and weight class, which shed the traditional heat-sinks used to keep
electronics cool, need to protect themselves against overheating by being a little smarter.
The Tramp HV continuously monitors the internal temperature, and regulates the power output in
several steps until the temperature is within safe limits.
This practice ensures that the components used in the transmitter are not used outside of their
maximum operating conditions, and will eliminate premature failures.
When in a reduced power output mode, as soon as airflow is present, the transmitter will quickly
increase power output to requested levels.
When is this useful? Imagine a quad sat on the starting grid of a race for several minutes, as other
pilots get ready, props stationary.
The Tramp HV will lower its power output until a safe level is reached. As soon as the quad takes off,
