This is gonna be fun! (Distance tests)

Gilroy! I presently live in Morgan Hill... have some open space, but my PS3 no longer gets past about 400ft... looking into it right now.

In Salinas off of the 68

Cool... nearly neighbors.

Cool... nearly neighbors.

When messaging back-and-forth to Will at Horizon inquiring when I'm going to get my terminator extreme with 5.8 panel I was informed that he is making something for the "standard" guys
That's going to be the same size as the terminator but will include (2) 14dB & (1) 5.8 all in one solid package. Which to me sounds like it will mimic the DBS small panel for the standard only in a more powerful punch

So is the 5.8 going to be 14dbi as well... i think but am not a 100% that the 5.8 in the small itelite is 14dbi...again not sure if im correct

 

[BruSimm]

LOL. My unit is pooped. When I first had it, I was able to get out to about 800 feet before the wireless dropped. But two firmware updates ago my range dropped to no more than 400 feet. I can't even get near the altitude ceiling now. Grr... I'm trying to figure it out. My next test will be linking someone else's remote to mine to see if it's my remote or not.

I just checked an old post from DBS and the panel does use the 14dbi 5.8....im hoping that horizons uses a stronger 5.8 since we pretty much know how far we get with the little panel on the standards

So you're saying even though the typical smaller DBS panel was only eight or nine DB I believe that their 5.8 stuffed in there was a 14?

 

[Procharged97]

Yep, 2 - 2.4's @9dbi and 1 - 5.8 @14dbi

Did he have an ETA on when you will be getting to test it out.

I believe the "all in one "package is still being tested/developed

Is there something you're trying to show us here PhantomZ? If you're just trying to show us that your stock range was almost 8000 feet then I say that's awesome[emoji41]
If you can do 8000 feet stock, then some of the upgrades that I've used in this thread will benefit you greatly.

Hey db, did you get an ETA on the extreme?

just came across this. maybe a new type of battery in the making,
Magnesium Based Batteries Last Longer


To address the problem of constantly dying batteries in cellphones and other mobile devices, scientists at Toyota have developed a high-capacity alternative to lithium technology. The magnesium based rechargeable batteries are smaller and longer lasting compared to lithium batteries. Key to success: a magnesium friendly electrolyte

 

[dirtybum]

Shhhhh! Phoenix don't tell nobody about these! You buy a ton of them wrap them in your own cool label and sell them for double price on the forum here[emoji41]

 

[phxbird57]

ok I'll send you the first 3 and you can do some tests.
