Will do. Not really looking to max out the distance or anything, I just want a more reliable connection.
Now to wait for shipping to Ireland
DBS or FPVLR? again...

Now to wait for shipping to Ireland
I installed it yesterday and went out for a test this morning.
Got about 1km away before I lost signal. Very happy with the results because there was trees in the LOS between me and the drone.
I don't know the max distance. I broke the antennae so the furthest I could go was about 100m
Just took mine out and did 6,500 without losing signal and turned her around. taking baby steps . No telling how far this thing will go. Love this itelite dbs mod.
Hello guys!
I am new to this forum and I am from Austria
I also installed DBS-Mod and got over 2km, which is about 1,3miles distance. To make the connection more stable, I made this (look at the picture)
I did not fly it yet as the weather here did not allow to fly
I used the two 5dbi omni-antennas from the tp link wa830re range extender.
Why I did this: I had in the past a crash due to my brother, he crashed into the tree. I repaired the shell but sometimes I could not go further than 50m. I checked the internal antennas for 2.4ghz. I saw a little crack on the antenna with black cable on it. As I do not have enough money for the antennas ( I am 18 years old student) I decided to bring the antenna connection out. I had 2x u.fl to RP-Sma cable. So I drilled two holes on the landing gear. Tehn I started the drone and there is: the video is working, so the antennas works.
When the weather allows I will do a range test
