What does everyone use for antenna boosters?
Are you happy with what you've got?
How much improvement do you get? Distance/Penetration?
Boosted or unboosted?
I have a Phantom 3 Professional with a GL300B Remote Control.
I first tried a home 3D printed, windsurfer type parabolic reflector and was surprised how much it improved my distance (about 50%) - but it didn't improve my penetration very much through the trees.
I switched from that to the ITElite DBS02 gain antenna - with and without a pair of 2W Sunhans Amps. Adding the DBS02 doubled my distance and greatly improved my penetration. Adding the 2W boosters didn't improve my distance as much as I expected them to - but it did give me about 25% more.
I recently purchased a second Phantom 3 Professional - and today, as I write this - I'm sitting in a parking lot and waiting for one of our fellow Forum Members @KyleMaxxUAV to install his top of the line kit - the ITElite MaxxRange antenna with 3W Sunhans boosters on my 2nd GL300B! Over the next few days, I'll pair both of my remotes with the same Phantom and go to the area in which I have the shortest range (due to local RF interference) and run range tests from both setups back to back and see if I can get some semi-scientific data comparing the 2 rigs.
(I also got a 7% discount just for mentioning that I'm a member of these forums!). Here's a link to his Canadian website - and pricing is in Canadian dollars - but it says he ships around the world. I did some comparison shopping and found that even without the 7% discount, his prices were better than anything else I could find (after converting Canadian dollars to US dollars).
I'll revoke this endorsement if I get it back and find he's screwed up my remote - but so far, he's been a pleasure to interact with. He was super helpful explaining my options to me - and he was willing to do my mod, on a Saturday, while I wait!!!

My particular package is not listed as a bundle. Had to take the EVOlite kit and add-on the MaxxRange antenna. He also stocks car antennas and if this all works out well, I'm considering one of those for the fall/winter.
Has anyone here used a car or house mounted antenna? Boosted or not? Unidirectional or Omnidirectional ? How did it work out for you?
