Hello everyone,
I have been thinking of modifying the controller for my phantom 2 (2.4ghz controller). I have seen lots of articles debating the necessity etc, but I am nevertheless thinking of doing the modification. Having watched many video's on you tube, the transmitter mod seems simple enough (famous last words)!
I was looking at replacing the controllers antenna with a 9 or 12 dbi, t.p.link seems the favourite option. If I understand the modification correctly, all I would need is the pigtale lead a bit of modification to the controller and the antenna!
My questions are, if anyone can assist, what sort of additional range for the phantom would I get? Secondly, having looked at my fpv antennas (which have been upgraded for the extra fpv range} the antennas are 5.8ghz and have a male end plugging into my black pearl monitors female connectors. Having looked around at the tplink antennas and other 2.8ghz antennas, they seem to be female connectors on the antenna connecting to a male pigtale lead... Is this the standard fitting for 2.8ghz or are there male ended antennas for 2.8ghz out there? If female is the norm for 2.8ghz, I can simply buy the appropriate pigtale connector.
Thank you for taking the time to read my question.
Kind regards.
