Simple but great innovation, which part is being disconnected the moxon or the parasitic reflector?
@CAGreve12315 жыл бұрын
The driven element is a high gain closed loop fed by an impedance transformer. It is actually a 2 element Yagi-Uda and not a Moxon. The switch is disconnecting the reflector in the back which turns it from omni to directional mode.

Is the xfire pro better then the standed t antennas provided with the r9 slim. I have this antenna on my r9 and have dual xfire on my quad and I am not gettinf the best range from it. What could be the problem, i have my antennas mounted on my quad horizontal or flat and have tested shapeshifter flat and side to side?

So what vswr are we talking at 915 mhz cuz the only directional antenna I've got (915 mhz version from another vendor) for some reason is tuned for 900 instead of 915
@CAGreve12315 жыл бұрын
This works for both 868 and 915 bands. 900MHz is a band, not a specific frequency so you are covered either way.
@CAGreve12315 жыл бұрын
VSWR is around 1.05 at 915MHz in omni mode and 1.2 in directional mode. At 868MHz, the SWR is ~1.3 in Omni mode and 1.05 in directional mode.

Greetings Alex. First, thanks for the great products! How would you compare this to the diamond antenna? Like range and ground effect? I am a LR quad pilot and fly low and fast, and like to scale mountains and such, with the 5.8g pepperbox extreme. Thanks!

This has slightly longer range than the diamond antenna in omni mode. In long range mode it has 2X the range of the diamond.

Omni only if being used as video receiver antenna right? Looks like the 5.8 Ghz Crosshair is still has better range for video. Am I reading the information correctly? Do you know how much better the shapeshifter is over the Diamond?

Omni mode and directional mode work for both transmitter and receiver side. I would say the Shapeshifter is 50% better than the Diamond. It is higher gain in omni mode and also has the long range booster built in.

It isn’t the same as the LongShot. This one changes from an omni into a directional antenna with the throw of a switch. The Longshot is a directional antenna of higher gain all the time.
