Improving the signal range by installing antennas and a mirror.

If the RC has a 28dBm transmitter, the 1w addition is likely not helping much, only 2dB gain IF it doesn't hurt SNR, which it probably does.

What's the gain of the built in antenna? Need that info before saying if the 7dBi is helping.
So very non-technical assessment but max range without amplifier is around 1500m and my range with amplifier I got 2900m

Interesting that doing nothing on the drone side allows such improvement. Generally range is predicated by limitations of the transmitters at each station and signaling conditions.

In any case, this doubling of range is only a 6dB increase in radiated power output.

Ah good , the mavicpilots paradox conundrum returns , lecture people on the evils of flying BVLOS , but discuss how to extend the range beyond it even further .
