Had to review after I installed it today. Figured it would do its job just from reading other reviews on them. Stock out of the box the most I could go was 450 yards "1350 feet" then lose signal and would start the return to home, so I took same route after install and went 667 yards "2000 feet" and had full signal. Could have went further but it was getting a little dark and so brought it back in. Just had to let everyone know what my thoughts were and yes it's worth the money.

When u get 1800 meters you will know they are working, but remember if your in Canada it's a 500 ft max, so I always abide by it

Canada is not the place to be droning in with such strict laws.  I guess there are so many places in the wilderness where you could fly but try not to disturb nature.

I totally agree. I managed about 350m with my P3S as standard...Argtek gave me 700m and like you, I could have gone further...but got scared! I've heard bad reports from people too, but I reckon it's mainly due to poor installation or maybe a cheaper 'imitation' that's also available.

You would think Saskatchewan (Province in Canada) having a land size of 651,000 klms and only a population of only 1.13million,youd think there would be plenty of safe area... But the Canadian govt only thinks of Toronto... I found a lot of drone safe areas here while I was visiting lol

Canadian laws are blowing up like no other it is absolutely insane. I am so happy I am in the United States. I here alot of people in Canada will be selling their drone gear and wont fly again... I am sure you can find great drone deals from Canada keep your eyes peeled if you are looking.

Question: Has anyone used the Argtek antenna to solve "Lost signal" issues.  Right now I'm only getting about 40M before I get lost signal and RTH.  Wondering if this has solved the problem for anyone else.

I installed an Argtek. It gives me more range than the standard antenna did. But i still  feel that there is a software related issue going on. With the argtek i still get "lost signal" that is hard to explain. For example: aircraft is hovering and remote has full bars. Without moving aircraft or remote it suddenly says lost signal. RTH kicks in. I then cancel that immediatly and the remote will reconnect with full bars.

I really don't know what that issue is but when you say antenna, you mean long antenna or panel antenna. I use all panels. I get longer range with them.
