Before I replaced the stock antenna, I was able to get around 300-400 meters due to high congestion of Wifi. Open areas, 800 m, so it was not that good.
I knew this was hardware related as I already changed my settings such as hardware decode on, calibration, etc, etc, etc.
The stock antenna for standard looked just too simple and tiny, so opened up the remote and also saw the tiny 2.4ghz panels.
Played with the DIY windsurfer, and sure enough the range increased RC range increased. Bingo! Hardware.
Right away only after owning my bird for a month, I upgraded the controller.
DBS has had great reviews, and also the Argtek. I was a tough choice, but the Argtek was cheaper.
The Argtek has 2 2.4 ghz 7 dBi panel antennas and on 5.8 gHz 8 dBi high gain antenna.
NOTE: take your time installing the cable, they are very small and kinda a b*tch to snap on.
Used hit glue to isolate the connectors, and sure as sh*t, the range increased to 5300 feet.
Then just for fun, I replaced the 5.8 gHz antenna with a 5.8 gHz 11 dBi panel antenna and holy cow balls, I now get 2 miles. |
