I'm thinking of trying one of these on the bird with a voltage regulator/buck converter. Honestly, I already bought it and am waiting delivery.
Background...
I have Tony's stage 4 kit on one P2V+. Worked great! Bird was destroyed by faulty ESC's
On the 2nd yet undamaged P2V+ (& working off of the Stage 4 amplified concept), I'm thinking of amplifying the 5.8ghz with a 2W Sunhans and using a rh circular polarized patch antenna rather than a little yagi and either adding FPVLR's rhcp pinwheels or Neewers "equivelent" to the bird. On the repeater, I thought of leaving one OEM patch antenna in place and adding a 2.4 ghz 2W Sunhans to a circular 4 lobe antenna. On the bird, the FPVLR pinwheels on the 5.8ghz receiver. On the 2.4ghz side, one 4 lobe Ibcrazy bluebeam and a 5 lobe Ibcrazy bluebeam amplified with this little thing (see above link).
Finally, I might try Horizon's splice method rather than destroying multiple receivers to get one clean one.
As kids we played with HAM radio's, 2 things seemed to make the most difference then: SWR & clean TX Power. With a swr meter, cheap ferrite filters, a 250W amp, and a coat hanger we could reach southern Africa (from New York) and communicate clearly. I read much about the sacred "50 ohm" cable in all the FPV/Controller antenna posts (which seems over emphasized in the context of 2.4-5.8 ghz anyway), but I have yet to read about eliminating interference from the power sources. Why isn't that an issue?
PS: anyone know where to get a SWR meter for 2-6ghz?
Anyway, looking forward to your comments. Learned much from you all, thank you.
