Alientech Antenna booster for Air 2S

[Sledman]

Howdy, has anyone here done a test on the Air 2S with the Alientech antenna booster range extender?​

Yes I have that setup , the signal is strong with that one.

Thank you!

Thank you!

One of the Ways I tested the Unit was to fly without the attachment on , I flew 2000 ft before it lost signal , I than put on the unit and turned it on and Signal came back strong , a nice little way of seeing it fire up .

2000ft only or 630m and loosing signal, that's not good

2000 ft with no Antenna at all attached.

You can go like 10 times beyond visual line of sight which is quite amazing

That's hardly a rational comparison. You should compare stock versus alternative. You crippled the stock setup.

No point , the air 2 s flight time is not enough to worry about increasing the range , ie battery would run out first

I get about 2,000’ out locally in a fraction of the batteries capacity when I start losing signal. An increase would be nice and I have plenty of battery capacity to support it.

Depending upon the reason for losing signal at 2,000 feet, an amplifier is unlikely to help. You still need clear LOS for the amplified signal. Amplifiers cannot penetrate buildings or topographical obstructions like hills and mountain tops. They may help marginally around tall trees, which have openings in between, but not thick forests. You may need to elevate your launch site. Get on the roof. Stand on a ladder. Get on top of a hill. Anything to get above the obstructions to maintain LOS. Fly over the tops of buildings, not behind them.

Sideman did you buy an alientech range extender for your air 2s? What model did you buy and what is your verdict?

No Sir, flying it stock still.
