Just added argtek booster .. I feel I got it installed correct . It loses signal about 100yards and returnes home .. do I need to calibrate ? Or any other ideas
Booster problem

Something not connected fully or not connected to the right port would be my first guesses. After that it could be a bad antenna.

Sounds like the Middle (aircraft control) antenna is not correctly connected. Open it up and just check that connection then try again
Yes I think that's what it was I think this terminal is damaged I have it on and glued but I wonder if I should cut end off and solder it ..?

It's extremely difficult to change out those u.fl connectors.
Just buy this:
12" Mini PCI U.FL / IPX to RP-SMA Female Antenna WiFi Pigtail Cable; US Stock; | eBay
or
8" U.FL to RP-SMA Female WiFi wireless adapter antenna Pigtail cable (US Stock) | eBay
Hello I think I need the other one in the remote that's why I was thinking solder to that piece .. or can I find that signal module

Ouch. That is going to be tough.
Absolute worst case... I keep seeing used remotes for $40 to $50 on the classifieds here and on Ebay.

There's a small bind button on the side of it. It's a small hole that you have to stick a toothpick or similar into. Plenty of videos available on Youtube that show the whole process.
Yes I just found this vidoes cool thankyou if I have any problems that's what I will get a remote control
How would that cable help when the connector on the remote is damaged?? I have the same damaged connector for my DBS MOD

It won't. And if you read the entire thread, you'll see that that was clarified.
Curious to know what you end up doing. I have the exact same problem and "solved" it with glue. While everything appears to be working I am nervous. You'd think a bit of solder be better but I cant seem to get anyone to confirm this is a viable solution.
