Phantom 3 standard parabolic antenna distance

[Ross1137]

Hi guys, I have put an argtek range extender on my phantom 3 standard, i was getting about 1.8 kms until rth kicked in, so I thought I'd make a parabolic antenna (windsurfer) now I get just over 3 kilometres until rth kicks in!
See attached photo
Has anybody else achieved this type of distance with a similar set up?

Just shows that any reflector is beneficial, even though that's not a parabola.

A similar looking object on eBay is called parabolic, so that's what I'll call it!

I've never had any luck with the ARgtek system. I have permanently removed it from my P3S and only use the Parabolic slip on. 2,200 feet is about all I can get.

I found that flying at around 60 metres high with the argtek antenna pulled nearly all the way back gave me the best results without the windsurfer
