Well it seems to me that the stick antenna is more like a panel antenna and not a TRUE Omni antenna cause when the bird is facing me I notice a signal is not as good as when the bird is not facing me so to me that is a panel antenna
It is positively an omni antenna in the neighborhood of a 3-4 dBi gain. However, they put a reflector in the antenna housing that I have never seen used in this fashion. I suspect that this makes up for the rear swept antennas in an attempt to improve range to the rear of the AC. This would be similar to the dish in a dish antenna.Well it seems to me that the stick antenna is more like a panel antenna and not a TRUE Omni antenna cause when the bird is facing me I notice a signal is not as good as when the bird is not facing me so to me that is a panel antenna
but by doing that wont that act more like a panel antenna the a Omni antenna?
Good luck! Please send pictures when complete.Looks good Bean! I'm planning to do something similar, but with QMA connections instead of SMA. (I just love me my QMA!)
Very cool milchoni!!!I’ve red the whole theme. Tx/rx amplified on the rc and the aircraft. No wires. Everything is hidden inside. 2 hours work.
I would love to see some internal photos of your mod too.Very cool milchoni!!!
Do you get any GPS errors in flight? I have had problems sometimes putting the amp that close to the GPS receiver.
Please share your experiences, thanks.
Today I had no problems but it was windy and tomorrow I hope I can test it again.Very cool milchoni!!!

Nice. Did you take any internal pic's of your mod?No problems! 15 satelites and full bars.
Nothing from milchoni yet?Nice. Did you take any internal pic's of your mod?
So Bean, you are saying that this single (dual ported) panel antenna can replace the dual antennas on the controller? So it can act as both the receive and transmit/receive antennas?
I don't follow this with my limited radio knowledge. The dual polarization (90 degrees out of phase with each other) in the panel antenna I understand, but don't the RC antennas share the same polarization? (I.e. they both point up, vertical polarization). What informs the drone that the panel antenna's polarization has shifted 90 degrees for one or the other antenna?
