I have a new 4hawks USA version that doesn’t have the 2.4qhz antennas which frees up room to put the larger XR 5.8 antennas in it. I am also boosting the right (closest to power button) antenna which is the TX / RX antenna.
I am not boosting the RX only antenna (closest to RTH button) because I don’t think it helps. I don’t think you can boost the Rx signal ?. It doesn’t seem so from my tests.
With this setup I’ve definitely doubled my range and probably more.
I think stock I was getting about 3,000 feet in my residential area when flying west which is an open area downhill through a park and to the beach.
With the boosted 4hawks I can now go a little past 7,000 feet.
And the setup is still fairly compact so it fits in my case still.
If anyone knows wether boosting the RX only antenna would also make an improvement, please let me know. I tried it once and it didn’t seem to make a difference so I returned it.

Would I be able to boost the Alientech duo like this?
