  • Welcome to your 900Mhz Dipole Antenna!

    ALCON,

    Spoke with KMc earlier on the "antenna" question. (Bet you didn't know there was one!).

    It's our hope to "crack the nut" with respect to range/running depth, limiting output power (extend TX battery life) and simplifying the install. Kevin is plugging along researching this as well.

    An interesting article on our new antennas. Might be a tad more difficult, but not insurmountable. How to Mount/Position Transmitter and Receiver Antenna on FPV Drone

    I see we need to mount them vertically, not horizontally. Also using an external dipole on the TX (HOURUS vs X18/X20) and actually aligning in the direction you face will appear to help as well. Which a lot of people would do with the 75Mhz when they appear to have lost signal. Pointing it directly at the boat was bad, the radiation pattern of the monopole antennas should have you pointing them to Jesus as it's perpendicular to the antenna.

    We need more crowd research here!

    Mmmmmmm.....donuts!

    Did you get your transmission fixed or buy a new truck?
