iorwerth said:Hi Z10M does that work for fpv (wireless) as well

5.8 GHZ 4.25 TURNS FATSHARK SERIES HELIX: Replaces small white antenna on the TX
http://fpvlr.com/shop/index.php?route=p ... duct_id=63
LHCP 2.4GHZ HALF SPHERE HELIX 9 DBI: Add on to the wifi repeater box
http://fpvlr.com/shop/index.php?route=p ... duct_id=54
With just those, I've gotten about 3000 ft in a dense urban environment. I am going to add 4 of these guys on to the bird to get even further away: http://fpvlr.com/shop/index.php?route=p ... duct_id=56
I really cannot recommend their work enough. It is high quality, and well worth the price.
#9 had a link to a dropbox folder where you could download a templatejarrah31 said:Is there a template I can print and cut out for the cardboard section to ensure I have the most optimal radius for the coke can by any chance?
I've seen various diagrams with complex numbers indicating the correct radius, but I'd like something that can be just easily copied/printed without needing a degree in RF tech to work out.
Thanks.

It seems yours are more easier to follow.Bigdz said:chluk2425 said:#9 had a link to a dropbox folder where you could download a templatejarrah31 said:Is there a template I can print and cut out for the cardboard section to ensure I have the most optimal radius for the coke can by any chance?

Gonna try reflector mod until I get my kit from tony at FPVLR. Curious to see if there is a difference...

It says frequency in Mhz. Do we need to enter that value? If so what should it be? Also, which plug do we select?
Same with the LHCP.
Thank you in advance because these things are very new to some of us.
Thank you - I've rigged one up and will try it out tomorrow.Bigdz said:Here is one I found

i have problems with getting the phone out of the way and keep antenna straight up... just wondering, if I follow what Z10m did, is it still Ok? It's seems the reflection surface will try to reflect waves towards the ground....DBS said:I wouldn't put the phone in front of the reflector like that ... see if you can swivel things around and have the phone behind like others are doing... bound to have a negative effect on your results... :ugeek:
