Will this wireless camera transmit from under water with a suitable antenna?
I am building a remote control underwater probe to explore the bottom of a lake and I need to be able to transmit video from a camera that could be up to 20 feet below the surface.
This is the camera I am looking at:
http://www.raidentech.com/24ghzmiwicoc.html
the video probe is towed of an RC boat. I know that this camera won't transmit through more than probably 5 feet of water, but if I solder on a 20 foot wire antenna that reaches the surface, will that work?
If not, does anyone have another suggestion?
The problem is, the actual boat towing it is RC so if I have a cable, I would have to put a recording device on it and not see it live time. Unless you know of an inexpensive video transmitter I could stick on the surface boat?

I suggest using a cable connection; much like the "big boys" do. Your camera will of course transmit but you r receiver is not going to be able to receive. The signal will be lost in the water. Radio waves or micro waves are not travelling well at all under water. I am sure you will be able to find a full explaination on Wiki How etc. Mike
