ODD SELECT / VOL.06
What is the difference between AKK and PEAK THOR VTX options?
Within OddityRC's KIMPOK selection, compare AKK TX and Alpha models by their exact specifications and rated power versions. PEAK THOR T35, T67, T78 and T89 provide four different nominal frequency ranges. Choose a receiver-compatible frequency first, then check power, voltage, cooling and mounting space.
ODD SELECT is OddityRC's curated range of third-party RC and maker hardware. These guides explain why products were selected, where they fit and what to check before choosing.
This comparison covers the KIMPOK analog video transmitters selected for Vol.06. AKK and PEAK THOR are product-group names here, not a claim that one group is universally better.
AKK: Compare the Model and Power Version
The AKK selection includes TX3000AC, TX5000AC, TX8000AC and Alpha options. The listed maximum RF output ratings are:
| Product or version | Rated maximum RF output |
|---|---|
| AKK TX3000AC | 3W |
| AKK TX5000AC | 5W |
| AKK TX8000AC | 8W |
| AKK Alpha power versions | 5W / 8W / 10W |
| AKK Alpha 16 | 16W |
OddityRC lists 5W, 8W and 10W as separate purchase variants on the Alpha product page. They should not be read as three selectable power levels on every Alpha unit. Manufacturer pages separately identify an Alpha 10 and Alpha 16.
Check the exact frequency table, voltage range, power settings and mounting dimensions for the version being purchased. A wattage label describes RF output, not electrical input demand or an expected transmission distance.
PEAK THOR: Choose the Frequency Range First
The four THOR models in this selection serve different nominal frequency ranges:
| Model | Nominal frequency range | Rated maximum RF output |
|---|---|---|
| PEAK THOR T35 | 3.0–4.9GHz | 3W |
| PEAK THOR T67 | 6.1–7.2GHz | 3W |
| PEAK THOR T78 | 7.2–8.0GHz | 3W |
| PEAK THOR T89 | 8.0–8.8GHz | 4W |
These ranges describe separate models, not one transmitter covering all four. They also summarize operating ranges; channel selection is limited to each model's frequency table. Refer to the manufacturer information for T35, T67, T78 and T89.
A receiver that only supports conventional 5.8GHz channels will not receive these THOR frequency ranges. Match the actual transmitter and receiver frequencies, and use antennas specified for the selected band and compatible connectors.
Check Installation and Control
Compare the input voltage with the supply you plan to use, including the battery's fully charged voltage where relevant. Confirm available current, wiring requirements, mounting space and airflow. A high RF output rating makes power and cooling requirements especially important.
Also check the remote configuration protocol. SmartAudio and IRC Tramp are control interfaces for settings such as channel and output power; they do not make incompatible video frequencies work together. Use the protocol and VTX table documented for the supplied model.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use PEAK THOR with a standard 5.8GHz receiver?
Not if the receiver only covers conventional 5.8GHz channels. The T35, T67, T78 and T89 ranges in this guide require a receiver that covers the actual selected frequency and a matching antenna.
Do 5W, 8W and 10W refer to settings on the same Alpha transmitter?
The OddityRC Alpha listing offers separate 5W, 8W and 10W purchase variants. Check the selected version's own power levels and specifications.
Will a higher-watt VTX always give better video or more range?
No. Reception also depends on antenna choice and placement, terrain, interference, receiver performance and installation. A rated RF output figure does not establish a transmission distance.
Where can I compare these KIMPOK transmitters?
Use the AKK and PEAK THOR product links in the tables above, or open OddityRC's VTX collection. Have your receiver model, antenna, supply voltage and mounting dimensions ready when requesting advice.
