I used the S5 with my P3P and while it is adequate for most of the time, I find it: 1)not big enough and 2)not enough brightness under direct sunlight. I switched to S8+ recently and it is awesome, solved both issues. The screen brightness under sunlight is amazing! Also, be aware that if...

I bought mine used, off ebay and it has been a disappointment. That is just me. Many others are happy with their increased in range. Here is my thread discussing my dbs: Professional - DBS mod range issue

I just ordered the same alfa directional panels and will test them later this week. I bought a used P3P RC (GL300C) with the DBS mod off ebay and has been disappointed with its performance. It showed no improvement over stock antennas. In fact, the cheap windsurfers did better. Let's see what...

Ok, thanks for the link. I am not looking charge the amplifier. I was looking to power the amp. using the widely available portable batteries with USB outputs but they can only give 5V, not enough to properly power the amp.

Ok thanks. Looks like 5V is the max for all the USB chargers which is not enough for the amplifiers. The only amplifier that accept 5V is the expensive Sunhans SH-RC24G3W I understand they come with a wall plug. I want the set up to be portable. So, the amplifiers need to be mounted to the...

I am thinking to eliminate having to buy a charger and avoiding cutting wire and soldering, maybe I should do this instead? 1. Buy a powerbank with 2 USB outlet ports: Amazon.com: Anker PowerCore Fusion 5000 2-in-1 Portable Charger and Wall Charger, AC Plug with 5000mAh Capacity, PowerIQ...

Nevermind, I was able to copy the item numbers and search for them on ebay. Thanks again!

Thanks for you quick responses! However, all the links go to the ebay homepage! :-(

Hi HWCM, can you provide links to where you buy the amplifiers and batteries? How do you charge the batteries? Thanks!

What was your range with your stock antennas in your backyard prior to the alfas?

Yes, I am very well aware of the directional nature of the DBS. I have a windsurfer prior to the DBS so I am familiar with the need to always aim toward the AC.

Disappointed to report back that the shorter cables made no difference. I am still getting range that is shorter than stock. Picture attached below showing the new cables. At this point, I am pondering what to do. I can transfer the DBS mod to my stock RC or I can buy another DBS antenna. Any...

The cables came in today. I will report back.

First time poster and looking for some inputs on poor range issue on my P3P with DBS 02 mod on a GL300C RC. I purchased the modded RC via ebay. Linking the RC to AC was fast and easy. I am not looking for 15k to 20k feet range. All I wanted is some meaningful increase when flying from my...
