Phantom Terminator Linear Antenna?

[dirtybum]

Yep, 15 turn w/ standard and just the Terminator for p3p/a

Can you remove the panels from the metal bar? Thinking of how this could fit in the backpack.

Are the two stock antennas configured as one for each band (2.4 GHz & 5.8 GHz) or are they used in a diversity setup with both radios sharing both antennas?

It's(2) 2.4 14dB patch antennas

This antenna obviously isn't for the guy that's looking to light pack on vacation! It's for the guy that serious about a long-range signal!
It is all one solid unit with the bar riveted to the panels. Although I can't confirm this, I've heard the future versions will be removable from the bar for easier shipping/packing. You'd have to message the supplier for that answer

Then the 5.8 GHz Video/Lightbridge receive antenna must be internal to the RC?

Sorry Rocket, I guess I dont know what youre asking! The p3p/a doesnt use 5.8

 

[RocketBrew]

Somehow I got the idea that Lightbridge was using the 5.8 GHz band, must have misread that somewhere (although I am sure "somewhere" was on the Internet, so it should have been correct...)

What I am thinking is rather than two separate antennas like the solution in this thread, I might try using one of my Wi-Fi sector antennas that has the two combined into one enclosure. Seems more manageable.

Sorry Rocket, I guess I dont know what youre asking! The p3p/a doesnt use 5.8

Well its here! Its raining today so no flights! I may box this up and send it back before I even test it! They just put on there site this morning a bigger version! Dont you hate when that happens[emoji41]

db, are you adding the 5.8 panel as well, or are you sticking with the 15 turn?

 

[dirtybum]

So far this is a 2.4 x's2 model there may possibly be a 5.8 version in the future, but for now this panel setup is marketed for the p3P/A. The easy mounting bracket that is rivited onto the panels(non removable) is NOT even compatable w/ the p3S remote.

 

[dirtybum]

I had to remove the permanently riveted mounting bracket on the Terminator because I want to use it not only to test on the P3P/A models but also on the P3S as well as the P2 Vision series! The DBS style stainless steel mounting clip that we are so used to DOESNT work for models other than the P3P/A! So I adapted it to a FPVLR style printed mount that is reasonable for ALL models. So I will test this panel first UNBOOSTED w/ the P3P for range. Then I will use it for the wi-fi end UNBOOSTED on the P3 Standard.

Midnight Skunk Works in effect right here!

Heres a couple pics removing the DBS stainless steel bracket and replacing w/ the more adaptable FPVLR printed bracket.
(And now that I've altered the antenna, I WILL be keeping it and testing the s**t out of it!!)

I had mail back from a supplier suggesting they could make up a 5.8ghz panel for the standard. I'll maybe have to ask a bit more about it. But I think db has the answer if not
