    Antenna Issues (questions) (range)

    The smaller one is the one that came with the kit. The legs one is an extra 150$ --- I may have the wife pick that up for me come my birthday -- hah. I did a couple test fights yesterday, unboosted with 8db omnis and 12db panels --- I got between 2800-3500 feet straight line from my front door...

    Awesome, thanks man. I couldn't decide if I wanted to drop 300$ but I did I got the boosted kit and the panel antenna ITElite. I can't wait for this thing to get here. I just hope I can install it with no issues. It looks daunting.

    EXACTLY what I needed to know -- thanks!!! This eases my mind that my RC is working correctly and that I just neeed to invest into a booster. I am thinking the UAVmaxx kit.

    I know both are needed; I think my post was pretty clear I dont know how I can explain it any better. When i took off the "transmitting antenna" i couldn't fly at all past 50 feet or so, when I took off the receiving antenna I could still fly the full 2800 range that I get with both antennas...

    Thanks for the tip... but it was only for a split second. Not continuous, and really thats irrelevant to what I was asking. But thanks for finding something to say.

    I did modify it. With internal antenna wires. I did that today... and that's what lead me to test one side versus the other side. Sorry about confusion.

    Which is why it lead me to the question ---- because if I have one bad antenna if its not functioning correctly, then that means I have an issue - but I am not sure if this is normal operation and I can't get an answer from anyone. DJI online chat --- they hardly speak english so I don't even...

    This makes sense.... but I am worried something is wrong with my RC... because I get the same distance regardless if two or one antenna is hooked up. Unless I unhook the (left) transmitting one, then it goes to **** and basically cannot be flown.

    Antenna Issues (questions) (range)

    I wanted to know how the antenna system works on the RC... is one for receiving and the other transmitting or vice versa? Or are they identical. The reason I ask is this, Ive noticed if i unhook my right antenna (if your looking down at the remote) and only use the left antenna, the phantom...

    Phantom 4 Channel Mod and Range Information.

    I have seen some of the Maxx stuff, and some of it was combined with this same amplifier, a got got 11k feet out of it over the city versus the maxx itself he only got 8k... Im starting to think something isn't connected correctly or something.

    Phantom 4 Channel Mod and Range Information.

    Hello! I just got a phantom 4 and have been flying it around my subdivision and some surrounding area. I used the basic remote standard and could get anywhere from 15-1800 feet before it dropped signal and started return to home. Some directions I was lucky if I got 600 feet. I would imagine...

    DJI Lightbridge Long Range Antenna Mod for 5-10KM flight (4 watt)

    I just purchased one of these and albeit I didn't really let the battery charge up that much (it was red and almost beeping while flying) --- I am disappointed in the upgrade. I am flying in my backyard which is a very congested area, probably 200+ houses in the immediate area, with high power...
