I lived in Thailand for 15 years, just moved back to Canada a few years ago. During that time I made many Thai friends and had many Thai work colleagues, so I got to know the culture quite well. It just seems that police (and people in general) are not as confrontational and combative as they...

I visited Petra back in 2006, not many people compared to the horror stories I've just read here. The night tour consisted of a group of about 200 people. The rule was no talking allowed during the mile walk through the canyon to the treasury. The entire mile trail was lined with candles...

FOUND THE PROBLEM AND REPAIRED IT!!!! *** See my original post for a detailed description of the failure. *** I disassembled the Alientech and found that it contains a power supply module which powers two RF amplifiers. Removing the power supply module and powering the two amplifiers directly...

Hello Paul, Almost a year gone by and I finally got to poking around the innards of my Alientech with an o-scope and I think I may have found the problem. I found no oscillations in the power module, but I did find what was either a bad solder connection or a faulty zero-ohm resistor. The...

Hello RawRock, As I mentioned, my range doubled using the Alientech, before it started to malfunction, so I can vouch for it. Did you set your transmitter to use the 5.8GHz range? The 5.8GHz Alientech will not amplify a 2.4GHz signal, even worse, it will block the signal from the controller...

Hello Paul, At the start, my problem was a slightly degraded signal with the booster, but over the ensuing weeks the performance deteriorated to the point where my issue sounds similar to yours. Within a few seconds after powering on the Alientech, I am seeing weak signal, lost signal, and...

A long post coming up, but if you're having the same problem as me, it will be an interesting read, in which case, I'd like to hear your experience with this issue. I'm an electronics engineer with a lot of experience in soldering and trouble-shooting. Bought a brand new Alientech PRO 5.8G...
