Awesome man thanks. I'll do a bunch of reading. I'm a fast learner but will prolly still start with something simple as your link for my first external that isn't mounted to the controller

I'm almost positive that the stock antennas are 5dbi
EDIT: my maxxrange kit should arrive today, gonna install it and Hopfully get a video up for you guys.. And you are correct, his video is gonna be tough to beat haha.
I have some snowmobile trails behind my house.. I'm thinking that would make for an awesome video to ride the trials and see how far I can go before signal loss. Time will tell

Great stuff! Yes the stock (controller) antennas are 5db. But what are the drones stock antenna db'??? Word of advice, if you lose signal (video) stop. Look at control signal level , most likely you will have control. Climb a few yards. Stop. Regain video feed , then decide next move. Don't panic, When video is lost, just stop, pause, climb.I'm almost positive that the stock antennas are 5dbi

Ah I see... And thanks I already do that quite often lol. I don't panic.. For me, as long as I can see myself on the map, and can see my Rc is still connected, even tho I don't have live feed I'm fine.. I'll either stop and wait for a new channel to be auto selected or I will use the arrow on the map to either backtrack, turn around and head back some, or I'll increase in altitude. Thanks for the advise tho gram. I'm about to tear into my controller now and get a head start before my package arrives.

TAKE GREAT CARE dealing with ALL the data ribbons (at least 5). Or you'll be buying a new controller!Ah I see... And thanks I already do that quite often lol. I don't panic..

My set up is different.. of coarse.. I now have a mobile setup. 8.5dB L-com antennas connected directly to RF-Linx SAXU 1.5W amplifier/boosters, mounted to magnet mounts I built, then 10' LMR 400 cables ran inside the car to the L-com Injectors.. then 12" RG400 cables from Injectors to remote. Best it's been so far as far as numbers and performance goes. Well satisfied! Measures 29dBm straight out of the amp.. that plus the 8.5dBi antenna gives me 37dBm Total Power. (ERP)
WOW, You have the Biggest ...... in the world. Very impressive flyingI'm starting a "through the woods" video thread for people that are curious about what kind of penetration others are getting... just for fun. Post your vid, and tell us about your setup! And if you have it, post a pic of your setup!
I'm just starting so this is my only decent vid to start things out. This video is my second run with my DBS02 modded GL300C, on my P4.
