Aircraft Antenna Mod

[beanbubba]

Need a cable or adapter with this on both ends:

BTW - I have my aircraft amp mod done completely, except for 2 of these adapters.

So the one above is right then?

The example you showed had a male on one end and a female on the other end. I need one with female on both ends.

ok got ya

And by female you mean the one with the stub in the middle correct?

Correct, like this:

Surely there's some out there somewhere!

There must be but I got stumped, and that doesn't happen very often

Here is the next world record distance run (on paper, yet to fly)

Specifically that amp's are necessary with large high gain antennas. Amp's are MOST needed with low gain antennas

sorry Dr. maybe you were drinking when you read that. I never said that amps are necessary for any antenna. I only stated that jumper amps, meaning using 2 amps is possible without burning one of them up as long as you're using longer cables, there has been threads about it, and I have seen the proof. You stating that you would burn one up was just inaccurate.

So the one above is right then? Sorry for my ignorance I was just trying to find the right thing.

That has the right description, but the wrong picture.

we were just trying to help! I hope that part was appreciated.

Every radio device is engineered with a receiver sensitivity. All the 2.4gHz devices we work with in this area of drones and associated devices (that I have seen so far) publish a 20dBm receiver sensitivity. Like anything in life and technology, there is a built-in fudge factor and/or margin of error. You can usually push the receiver limit by 5 or more dBm without issue and I do it regularly myself.

But if you have ever towed a heavy load in your stock pickup truck that is not rated for towing, you may not kill the transmission on the first run, but you can rest assured it will fail sometime soon because it was used outside of the engineering specifications.

I was private messaging with Hyprmtr a couple of days ago and I blew out one of my spectrum analyzers after forgetting to place the attenuator inline with the mavic radio board. If you operate above the published receiver sensitivity, it may not happen today, but it will fry the radio at some point.

Fu***ing A it is appreciated !!!

I would still be twiddling my thumbs trying to figure this **** out without you guru's.

While I had my bird opened up doing this mod, I was always annoyed by the excessively bright LEDs on the rear end. With a little effort, you can unseat them with your fingernail. There are 2 on top and 2 on bottom of the mother board. Since there are exposed power connectors after removal, I siliconed over them for safe measure.

I hope this might save a little power on the next distance run.

So what amps are you using on the mavic?

If that THING flys..........

Bean you should change your username to "Dr. Frankenstein"

Wow I thought that pic was a joke. Isn't there smaller amps to put on the Mavic?

Where did you find those at??
