# FAQ / Analog VTX Noise 

* power VTX from regulated power. 
  - (that said, my 6S direct-input VTX is cleaner than my 5v regulated from FC versions.)
  - prefer VBAT ground rather than some other ground if soldering to FC.
* power FPV cam from VTX.
* OSD video into FC, then out to VTX.
* twist yellow and black lines (like twisted-pair network cable)
* can also double-ground cam to both FC and VTX.
* use good antennas. prefer "ipex or mmcx directly on the antenna" rather than "pigtail-adapter to antenna."
* prefer 9V bec if available in such situations. 
* usually a capacitor is needed on quads with high voltage and large motors.
* make sure that the signal wires of the camera and vtx are shortened as much as possible.
*  where the ground is connected and where the vtx and camera are powered from has an effect.
* avoid ground loops.
* don't use auto-scan on your goggle/module.
* calibrate goggle/module if necessary (not typically required).

That's about as good as it gets.
