Fpvlr antennas problems.

[hangtensoul]

Hello guys.
Hope you can help me cuz im having lots of problems to have my antennas well working.
I bought the kit stage 2. Installed it well and i tested it 3 times and the maximun distance that i got was 400 meters. Less than my original antennas.
Does anyone knows or have an idea about whats happening?
I did the setup at the assistant and my phone is and lg g3 brand new.
Thanks for your attention.
Here comes the pictures.

I would email Tony ([email protected]) who owns the company and has always replied to me quickly with any problems I have had.
I get 6000 feet routinely with the set up you have.
Good luck and he will walk you through it!!

You had to make any modification at the assistant ?
Or u just opened the radio and the extender and putted the wires and antennas ?

In your first picture it looks like the connector is touching the metal box. Many of the threads I have read stated to makes sure you don't... I even went so far as to hot glue my connectors to make sure they don't come in contact with anything that might become a problem. I do like how you routed them to prevent kinks.

Thanks friend. Im doing that now !!!

 

[hangtensoul]

Does it looks better rotorwash ?
Thanks for your help

 

[hangtensoul]

Are the connectors on the right place ?

 

[hangtensoul]

Just did the test in a open area. With the connectord not touchibg the metal stuff. I just go 600 meters with 9 satellites.
Any sugestion?

The only other suggestion I have is to make sure the wires aren't kinked the wire on the right has a big 90 degree bend. try routing them like this.

Also what are you getting 600 meters with the controls or the FPV?

I'm no expert but I did read a lot of threads about this mod.

I would also shoot Tony an email if it doesn't get better

hanks for your help

see if you can get the kinks out with a little straighter routing of the wires.

Also did you toss the shielding? You might still need it

first of all you need to tell us if you're losing video or radio control....

 

[GSSP]

hot glue the caps and wires

i have detailed pictures from a-z on this upgrade.
let me know if you need any.

 

[hangtensoul]

Rotor. Did what you said about 90 degrees. Im having signal lost, the fpv still working well but when i get around 600 goes back home ...

 

[hangtensoul]

Guys im losing radio control.
Thanks for the attention ...

also, remove the stock antennas underneath and shielding around it.

It seems if your have good FPV then your Wifi repeater is working and problem is with the connection inside the remote. Yep, the one that gets all the goop removed.

Im sorry about my english.
So you guys mean that i have to clean the white glue that is around and underneath the chip ?
Thanks

 

[hunch]

NO you need cleanup the white glue that is around the stock antenna connector inside the controller.




Then need to look like this before installing a new connector on extension cable



and then use hot glue to fix it down.

if the exposed threads on the sma connectors are too short you can remove the washer that is supplied, this allows the thread to be exposed more and allows the pins to mate.
This is how I fixed a problem I had with a similar setup. Also sma connectors need to be secured with the nut tightly using 8mm wrench.
Then the antennas need to be screwed on tightly too.

Is it possible to see how you are aiming the antennas and a screenshot of when you lose rc control?

This is the current recommended install technique on the tx
