Hi All, Its my 1st post so pls be gentle.
I have a phantom as do most with:
FS Attitude googles kit with 250mw 3.2version TX,
Diversity dual reciever 7" monitor.
5.8GHz Circular Polarized Antenna Set (pin in the center)
I have a range of 15 meters or so line of sight on standard i think straight antennas on the FS TX, Goggles and Monitor, as i walk away both recievers (as in the googles and monitor) pic both slightly break up, when i stop its ok but if i move eg turn around the signal breaks but not cuts out untill im in line again.
I then try the polarized antenna on the TX and the googles and can prob get another 5 meters or so. I then put the polarized antenna on the monitor and the same.
If i use the standard antennas all round, i can walk around some objects(small height bushes) and both eventually go to snowy/so broken that you can see at around 20 meters.
The power to the TX ive tried from a seperate 2s 450mah lipo fully charged and the phantom 2250mah 11.1v direct. So it doesnt seem to be a power issue or lack of.
Ive only had these items for a few weeks and its been like this from day one rather than deteriorated over time.
The TX is mounted in the centre of the phantom facing to the status led.
All the goggles, TX and monitor are on CH1 5740mhz.
My thoughts are how can i see tons of youtube clips of people FPV'in in woods, around places at a distance when i cant get further than my so called front door?
Would a Immersion RC 600mw TX be a better option and some ImmersionRC 5.8GHz Antenna Set spironet?
Im in the major learning stage and have looked at various posts and tested in various places to try and eliminate possible issues... It could be a TX issue which could be it, but some advice please and if so tomorrow ill order what suggestons people give.
Paul.
