Hey Guys, on March 12, I had an unrecoverable crash in the swamp and lost my Phantom 1.1.1 and all the FPV gear (sig). I have my replacement bird now and am slowly configuring my new FPV gear and have a question about antennas. In short, do cloverleafs ALWAYS have to be "paired" with another cloverleaf? I know the direction of turn on the lobes have to match.
The reason I'm asking is because I have a Black Pearl Diversity 32ch receiver/monitor and I already have a high gain panel antenna, which I know is directional. I really don't want to do away with that antenna, but would like to know if I can put an RHCP cloverleaf on the vTx of the bird and match it with an RHCP 4.25 turn helical on the BP with the panel. I know both the helical and the panel are both directional, but don't have a problem with that.
So what do you think? If I have a cloverleaf on the bird, is my panel antenna doomed? The helical is a must have, so it's not in question. I've read enough on these forums to know that, even though there are exceptions, you usually get what you pay for, so FPVLR is going to be the solution.
Thanks in advance for any information or advice you might be able to offer...
