Does anyone have any experience with either for the 5.8ghz dji products and weather they really do increase the range and signal reliability in the higher WiFi areas where there is lots of interference

I've had both Raptor XR and Alientech Dual 5.8 & 2.4 (Amplified version). I'm surrounded by 3 cell towers in a 2 mi radius and a regional airport 4 mi away. The regular controller was useless with stock antenna. I first tried Raptor XR and got very minimal gains - went from 100ft to 200ft before signal dropped. Then I finally switched to Alientech Dual 5.8/2.4 Dual - and I now get over 2 mi range with HD Signal & no interruption. I've yet to fly beyond 2mi - but don't anticipate any signal issues - only battery running out if I go that far.

What are you flying fcc or ce? I have the fcc mini would would need the 4hawks sr witch I did hear was better bigger antennas. And the alientech booster model with only 5.8ghz cost more then what I even paid for mine. It’s just hard to pull myself towards that one

I under stand that. But how would using third party antennas even cause I fly away when the drone it self has home point locked in by gps? And why does dji not pair with a 3rd party for these products or make them there selfs to help there customers?
