My amp/antenna build and distance test (I will update thread as i go)

[mnoutdoors]

In theory no, but I do

If you only use one do you hook it up to left side (tx)

 

[mnoutdoors]

Yes

 

[Rnl]

Thank you

 

[droneuser]

Thanks for the video!!! Well I did some tests today and to tell you the truth 15dbi or the 9dbi antennas wasn't much better then a stock antenna!!I will post more info within the next 45 mins I just got back in from flying....it is a cloudy day maybe that had an effect on this

 

[droneuser]

and no amps were just a stock controller

 

[Rnl]

No better with the 15 that sucks.

 

[Rnl]

But with the 9 I had same results.

 

[mnoutdoors]

They make very good pointers when working on a white board pointing things out

 

[Rnl]

mnoutdoors has me thinking of trying 20dbi panel.

 

[mnoutdoors]

They do require a tripod, the 14dbi do not, just saying

 

[droneuser]

ohhh and had a mishap today too!!! will post that too!!!

 

[Rnl]

Mishap or learning curve?

 

[Rnl]

So far the 9dbi panel I have is not working good, hopefully it's me.

 

[droneuser]

lol learning curve that's for sure!!! lol

 

[mnoutdoors]

This panel set up does quite well with the little 4 W amps dragon/dove

 

[droneuser]

this is what happens when ya get a dumb idea!!! I thought to myself hey lets land and take off over 1000 feet away!!!!! NOT realizing that a blade of grass tall enough to NOT let the motors start up so I couldn't take off!!! LOL I had to use the find my drone and it worked!!!! LOL Yup it was a nice walk!!!! NOT!!! barb wire fence torn my jacket!!! NOTE to self not do that again !!!! LOL.....the blue "dot" is me walking..lol

Amped panel? What is it ?

 

[droneuser]

ok here is the info on the 15 dbi omni antenna NO AMPS!! ...not very good YES I could of went higher but I am trying to keep the data the same so I will be trying to stick to the 150ish feet.. it is a cloudy day maybe that had something to do with it????? I am going by the HD ( video) signal not the Rx however the more I think about it maybe I should go by controller signal??? but I figure what good is it if you have controller signal but you cant see????



Here is the air data for that flight signal errors
