DESCRIPTION

This is a 900MHz video/audio transmitter. These small devices are no longer manufactured. They are useful for short-range surveillance activities... say, a small board camera in hotel/motel to a parking lot. This Gemini version was found at a thrift store and runs on 18VDC. TV Genie was another brand of similar transmitter.
