my personal experience with range extenders of this type is they are super hit/miss. i cannot figure out a pattern. sometimes clear advantage to them working other times its fairly equal with or without them. i have 2 sets.. cheapy one and a slightly more premium one.. both from amazon both perform identically. i have tried it on my spark i used to own, i have to say not worth it, at least in FCC areas where have higher output. only run where was clear advantage to them was one run i did from friends hour to a gas station 1.5 miles away, the spark without them barely got 2,200 feet because so much in the way, so many trees and hills and homes and blah. but with the extender cups the little spark made it all the way there and all the way back... it was the only time when it made a clear difference. i could not repeat it again however, so i dont know if that very moment of the test conditions favored that signal or if they really did their magic..
with the mavic pro however it seems it actually is not as ideal, i think because mavic pro is outputting a lot more power and senses reflection coming back into the antennas it cuts power slightly to prevent damage to the circuits.. that's a theory but with my mavic pro it has been less then ideal at all tests, not one time it thus far extended my range at all.. |
