no need for any extra connectors, just unscrew the stock antenna and screw in the new one. May i know what application are you expecting a better range for?

Post by: v2 eagle on July 31, 2015, 10:12:37 PM I believe the stock antenna is ample enough. go for a change only if you couldnt get any usable signal and please mind the limitations of hobby grade equipment.
be aware that your tx output power remains the same! Title: Re: CAN I UPGRADE TO FrSky 2.4G V8 Series 5db module Antenna???

I found the stock antenna really sluggish :( I m aware of the limitations of hobby grade equipment...and wont even think about doing any thing stupid as we all are already in a big mess :banghead: :banghead: if the tx output power remains the same...then I wonder what's the difference between 2db antenna and 5 db antenna... if I decide to use the 5db antenna.? what will be the difference?

If you are into DIY try out a Yagi antenna .... This will give you a boost in range http://www.instructables.com/id/Easy-to-Build-WIFI-24GHz-Yagi-Antenna/ or if you prefer to buy .... then the following is better than a whip http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__20108__2_4Ghz_7DB_Antenna_for_FrSky_Modules_And_compatible_Radios_Modules_.html be aware that both these are directional ... i.e you have to point in the general direction of the receiver |
