Nice, I just got some of my parts today so tomorrow i'll be testing with the TPLINK 9DB directional, and a 5 and 9DB omni to compare results. What is the DB gain of the directional antenna you're using?
I was looking at the Itelite site and I noticed some dual antennas.
Anyone have any experience with a dual setup? Some of these have pretty high gains and still have wide coverage.

Hey , madman
It coming down to the bandwidth angles ... And if you want a stop sign attached to your transmitter . The smaller the bandwidth means you will have to keep the panel pointed right at it .. You would need the antenna locked on the PV constantly...if you would happen to move one inch it's about 40 feet the farther you get the PV out...the higher numbers for bandwidth and antenna DBI is what you need .. The max output for the range extender is 50mw unless you get a amplifier which I have not tried...

Instructional video I just made on how to mod the DJI Wifi Repeater to use any screw in rp-sma type antenna with the connecter mounted directly into the repeater body for a streamlined look and easier use of different style antennas.

Here's a couple of pics of the end result. I will be testing both omni directional as well as directional antennas.
Here is the parts list of the items in the video.
You will need a 1.5mm allen wrench for this.

BenDronPilot, I do have a question?
Why you have 2X 2.4 GHz Antenna, I will like to know the logic behind in order for me to possible learn.
I do have a Similar setup:
Transmitter using: Dual Band 2.4GHz 5GHz 9dBi RP-SMA High Gain WiFi Wireless Antenna 5.8GHz
Repeater using the TP-Link TL ANT2409A
I'm doing something wrong here?

Next time please do not do something like this on a material that could case static electricity!
Before you know it, you will zap a chip inside the device!

No you're not doing anything wrong I chose to buy a variety of antennas for diffrrent scenarios and for basic testing and comparison. For example the omni directional antenna will allow me to use the Phantom controller with less bulk and without having to adjust antenna position as often. The range of that particular omni direction is to be determined. The directional antennas I got the to TPLink and another I am still waiting to recieve will be for days when I want to fly my Phantom at much greater distances while maintaining the best FPV WiFi preview quality.
I also have a couple of 5.8ghz omni directional clover leaf antennas to try out for when I am ready to mod the transmitter. I am also thinking that the 2.4ghz omni directional antenna I got will also work better than the stock antenna on the transmitter so I will test that as well when I have all 3 antennas in hand to test on it which which won't be for a couple more weeks still.

Thanks, when I have some results I will post back to tell you the difference between stock versus omnidirectional vs the directional and in a couple weeks possibly the transmitter too will get it's upgrade if I feel it necessary.

Thanks for your detailed reply, I'm working in almost the same, I'm a ham radio Operator (KM6RM) and a MARS Operator(ABM6BD) and work in different radio projects if there is anything that I can assist let me know.

Not my pics as taken from another post i just manipulated them to show pigtail contacts (hope they dont mind).
Pic 3 shows underside of the main pcb where the pigtail wires go too, looking at pic 2 there are 2 screws to remove the camera unit, once removed the pigtails should be able to be removed without having to remove the main pcb.
Hope this helps and good luck to the person that wants to have a go
PIC 1
PIC 2
PIC 3
and what happends if i just put a Mini PCI IPX U.FL to RP-SMA like the one in the reapeter in to the camara with a long cable and put an 2.4 ghz anttena in to the phantom landing gear near could this work?
Not really a repeater question...
I'm about to add a cloverleaf to the P2V itself, but I just noticed that the RX unit inside the P2V has two antennas!
Both have a U.FL Mini PCI connector, and both wires run down the legs.
Do I need to connect two cloverleaf antennas or can I just disconnect one?

Hi, you did it with your skew-planar antennas ?

Hi.. no I am using the TP patch for 2.4 and standard TX on FCC, I don't understand why some people are only getting 400' on rc :shock: next test will be more accurate by using the flytrex. I am going to try a tuned skew on the TX at some point to see what difference it will make. as for 2.4 there is very little if not anything can be done on the Drone side.
I can get 6km VT using a skew on my FPV powered glider setup but that is running 600mw
