New distance record for me

[mamjn3]

Hit 6566 ft today (1.24 miles) I was shooting for 1.5 miles, came up 1354 ft short. Not bad considering I did it in front of my house with wifi all around me, I'm using the Itelite DBS antenna. I'm considering about getting a few amps for the DBS, just trying to figure out how to mount them, any ideas?

Here are a few pics of the trip, notice how I had bad signal early on but I kept pushing it.

This looks really nice:

(might have to request to join the group to see)

Also, congrats on the distance.

Thanks, also have the Alphas mounted on the Argtek mount, got 4500 ft out of those but it was a crappy day so I think Mother Nature played a role in that short distance, might put amps on those as well.

My mounts a DBS powered my three amps.

What amps are using ?

 

[WilliamM]

What amps are using ?

Sunhans, two 2.4 GHz @ 2.5 watts (silver) and one 5.8 GHz @ 2 watt (gold).

 

[tsmith1296]

How are you powering all them ?

 

[WilliamM]

How are you powering all them ?

Being the silvers are 12 volt only and the gold is a range of 5 to 17 volts I think. I use a 12 volt power supply.

Cool thanks for the info

I see that you have 3 amps, did you use some sort of splitter to power all 3 with the same power source?

Yes, one two way splitter as it's already a two lead battery. They also have a three way splitter for batteries that only have one lead.
