New Long Range antenna for SOLO

[Jubalr]

Yeah if I keep my next solo after RMA once I'm 30 days after the warranty I'll put the connections to add them. I already have them sitting on my desk.

Good Idea Chris. It will probably be a popular mod.

 

[JLJ]

ah ok, thank you

its dual band it's 10 only.in 5GHz band. It's 8 in the 2.4ghz band. Only 1 dbi different

Got it, TY

Circular Polarized. It is less lossy as the vehicle moves, turns, etc. And travels around stuff better. But transmitter and receiver need to both be CP. New antennas on both.

Alfa 7dbi directional. Better than stock with far better video transmission all the way out. They're vertically polarized. I can't speak to the fpvlr kit unless someone wants to send me one. But I will assume.that they can get you a bit farther. But they really won't shine until you adapt the solo to a CP antenna to match it. As they suffer a 3dbi loss due to polarization miss match as well.

CP antenna?

Very much, the Meraki line is pretty good with cloud controller capability. We use them in my network where I work.

@ChrisM101 I am guessing it was spell check. Thinking that unboosted got 3 miles

Well its proven $ spent.

 

[Raybro]

that extender not pricey.

It may be a powered antenna since it is only designed to work on certain Meraki AP's, using coax for power delivery. Not sure.

Well buy some adapters already.... why you want us to try if you got 100 of them
