Re: Phantom 2 Vision Range Booster 1,99$ works also with Vis
On the normal Pv2(non-plus), if you enter the wrong commands, exemple :
uci set wireless.radio0.country=BO; uci set wireless.radio0.txpower=25
uci commit wireless ; wifi
IT WILL SET TXPOWER TO 3 DBM, until reboot, so you will loose lot of range...The only setting you can hack into is 27 dBm, on both the range extender AND then phantom.
I will start a thread soon to show how to boost tx on the PV2 and RE500 for free(probably work with PV2+ also (i've not tested the command sequence on PV2+ but it's same Linux style system)
I was able to get double the range using this, and combined with a parabolical aluminium sheet reflector i can get to further then my 5.8 ghz control signal, i wish i add someone with upgraded controller to test this further, but this mod involve editing the /etc/config/wireless file on the drone and using VI text editor to make the changes, so im not sure if i should publish this to common peoples because someone making a mistake boosting his drone, could brick the drone or extender in the process...
If anyone with a PV2 non-plus want more info msg me in private i will give him the full process to achiev this 501mw(27 dBm) upgrade, but it is at their own risk and they must be confident using a SSH shell...
