How do you get your distance > 1mi in feet? After the 1 mile mark, mine just says "1.1 miles, 1.2 miles" etc.
What is the ideal position for the alpha antennas?3000ft at 1000ft altitude, in the mountains doing search and rescue ops. Alpha antennas.
What is the ideal position for the alpha antennas?
Could you post a picture of what that looks like?I have extensions for them and put them on a tripod ~6 ft in the air, about 12" apart, with the alpha logo pointed right at solo. I just reach over and twist the tripod to keep them pointed in the right direction.

Maybe has to do with maturity level??4240 @ 300' alti, all stock. I have paddle antennas but haven't used them outside yet.
One curious note (and appreciable) is that this community seems to be a lot more about safety than other community groups. On this site, one can visit the Phantom 3 page and see a similar thread, where most everyone is bragging about their altitude, and cavalier/arrogant towards those that suggest they stay below 400'. One guy says "call me an asshole, I'm still gonna go as high as I want, when I want, and the FAA can't find me." No wonder this is a more preferable group.

Other than using my paddles, suggestions for greater range without shifting out wifi cards?
