Do you have to do the 32 channel mod to get the better range ?

I to would like to see what you did to get this. Please PM or post if possible. Thanks!!!

Follow the video tutorial above on how to install. And you'll need the following:

three (3) u.fl to RP SMA cables (10 to 12 inches in length / 26cm or 30 cm)
Like these: Amazon.com: 2 x 12" / 30cm Mini PCIe U.FL / IPEX to RP-SMA Antenna WiFi Wireless WAN Pigtail Cable IPX Bulkhead PCI Apple Airport Extreme Netgear WN2500RP WNR834B v1 v2 WNDR4300 N600 N750 N900 Linksys EA2700 EA6500 EA6700 EA4500 EA6400 E2000 WRT610N WRT320N E3000 E3200 EA3500 WNDR3400 WNDR4000 WNDR4500 R6300: Computers & Accessories

And I used (3) Alfa antennas:

(2-pack) Amazon.com: 2 Pack of Alfa 2.4HGz 7dBi Booster RP-SMA Panel High-Gain Screw-On Swivel Antenna for Alfa AWUS036H, AWUS036H1W, AWUS036NHV, AWUS036NHR, AWUS036NHA, AWUS051NH, AWUS036EW, AWUS036NEH, AWUS036NH, AWUS050NH, AIPW610H, APA05, WUS048NH and R36: Computers & Accessories

(single) Amazon.com: Alfa APA-M25 dual band 2.4GHz/5GHz 10dBi high gain directional indoor panel antenna with RP-SMA connector (compare to Asus WL-ANT-157): Computers & Accessories

I have a separate tablet connector/mount that connects to the lanyard loop. I took it off as I was using the tablet on a tripod mount.

Again, I thank you for sharing this.

Guys i need some guidance through what antennas i should use. The only thing i know is wifi video is 2.4GHz and transmission is 5.8GHz. Also is it possible to get 32 channels in the standard? I thought that was only possible in lightbidge technology... Please help

I've ordered one of the ARGtec upgrades off eBay do I need to do the 32 channel hack to notice any difference?

You're welcome. Just be careful removing the glue on the wi-fi connectors. Use an razor or X-Acto knife for accuracy and go slow. Then use hot glue gun (or possibly silicone) to seal the connectors.

Hi, this is my test only use a windsurfer no mod

 

[mtuhoop24]

I like both these setups. I think I might try the one from ARGtek because I can put the TX back together like new if any warranty issue arise. I would imagine that you could put boostered antenna on the ARGtek if needed because they can be removed/replaced correct?

in the case of ARGtek i think yes no need drill your controller.

I would like to see some results of this ARGtek antenna mod. If anyone tried it, please let us know with some before and after range, as well as flying location circumstances. Thanks!

Here's how much distance I'm getting with the stock antennas about 230m at 45m height. In gonna assemble the upgrade tonight and have the results later this weekend.

I have read that you might be able to squeak some more distance out with some more height.........but either way I can't wait to see what you get with the Argtek upgrade. I hope it is a major improvement. Out of all the antenna upgrade this is the best looking and doesn't ruin (void warranty) the Tx case. It looks like it "belongs"!
