YMMW. My windsurfers gave me a very measurable boost. Not as good as my FPVLR antennas but much cheaper and easier to install.
There are various 'Windsurfers' out there. Some of them are not designed correctly. The DIY versions have the correct dimensions - at least they have been shown to work.
Next step is the commercial antennas such as FPVLR and DBS. They work as well. The other major factor is your RF environment. If you are trying to punch through concrete buildings, you're going to need some serious active amps (still won't work well). If you are just trying to increase free space range, it's pretty easy. Remember, trees, although they don't contain metal or concrete (at least the trees where I live don't) have lots of water and 2.4 GHz signals are attenuated by water. |
