I'm speaking of the Parabolic Remote Range Booster.
Do they really help amplify the transmission signal?

The parabolic reflectors if that is what you are referring to don't amplify the signal but they do a great job in putting the RF in one particular direction both transmit and receive. Much like a reflector on a flashlight they concentrate the energy where it is needed instead of wasting it off in some other direction. I have ran tests to prove them to myself and mine almost doubled the range. I still had 100% signal at 1,740 feet. Also they prevent interference from other directions. Mine cost only $14.00 from AMAZON.

As mentioned above, the windsurfer only concentrates the signal in a more focused direction. The standard antenna is Omni directional and sprays the control signal in 360 degrees, the windsurfer eliminates a lot of this 'waste'. However you need to change your aiming technique for best results. They do work and did improve my video transmission as a by product.Do they increase video signal, I start to usually lose video feed.
