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

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????

Do you have air Data? Look at your signal error numbers

he got the titan amp one which if I recall is 4 watts

I believe they are less then 4W

This is what you want to see this was with my 14dbi panel and the 4w dragon-dove amps
Remember the mountain is 990 feet above my takeoff point so that’s why the alt numbers are high
 
This is a good reference to look at for antenna mods, the lower the number the better
 
ok I got the app it I have to sync the logs with dji first
 
ok I got them sync where is that screen that tells signal errors?
 
ok cool thanks I will add that info to that post!
 
It's the one that comes with switch from Titan
 
ok I add that data to the post above
 
I would add that data to my stock flights in this post but I delete the go app to play with 4.1.12 version app :(

You did not happen to turn the unit on without a antenna attached to the qma connectors ?
James @ Titan would have to answer the question but I know on most amps if you turn them on without a load
( antenna ) It can cause them to burn out

Many new amps can be run without load, the older amps can not
 
here is the 9dbi Omni antenna NO AMPS.... flight

Looking at your data reveals another downfall to the omnis they suck up interference from everyone’s WiFi
The panels will get some also but not as bad as the omnis in my opinion

I would assume cause of the numbers go high due to inference in that area? do you by chance have any links for small panels? I need some portable :)
