The MUST HAVE FRsky Taranis Mods
Рет қаралды 350,483
Күн бұрынAfter many weeks of contemplating whether to paint my radio or not, I decided to make it look and preform the bestI could.
Starting with the epic flat chestnut paint job and the RG316 coax cable RPSMA adaptor mod. coupled with a high quality 5dbi antenna the range is seriously impressive now. the added range makes even a stock Taranis look like a Orange DMSX module.

Thank You Mr Steele. Your video was very helpful. I did the mode yesterday with RG316 like you suggested and used the length you recommended. First antenna that I could find laying around was 9dbi WiFi antenna. SWR was flipping between 0 and 1. Did a range test and was very happy with results. I am glad that I ran into your video, not someone else s, otherwise I would have used wrong size and length of the coax and would have been plagued with SWR and RSSI issues, like most people have.

Word of advice: solder the negative first, i almost ripped the antenna pad of because i had trouble with my stiff cable (bought the wrong one as well). The negative pads are way bigger so you won't rip them. EVEN BETTER: use a ufl smd antenna connector so you can swap later (if ever needed)

Hello Steele, I’m doing your antenna mod on my Taranis X9d plus and I wonder if I should remove the UFL connector to directly solder my coax (RG316 with rp-sma connector ) to the board or should I let the board as it is and solder a small piece of original crappy antenna with UFL on it to my RG316 coax.....(but it will be hard to keep the shield around the coax around d the solder.......and will look crap.... I tried to dismount a ufl connector to mount it on the RG316 but it’s too small and parts breaks as soon as you "unbend" the very thin tabs. Any advice? Thanks for your help. Aurélien, France

Yeah, I was thinking of an antenna change up but wondered what configuration would be good for drone operation. I was thinking if you wanted max distance in operation if a Yagi would be best since it creates a beam output vs an omni output. For the transmitter part on the handheld wouldn't be a problem but the transmission on the drone might be a problem unless a better collector antenna to receive weak signals from the drone can be used to boost your range significantly. That would be a cool test to see.

Is it 3.2 inches including the sma brass? or just to the base of the it?

Good range test. Mine does not get anywhere near the distance in 'Range' mode. You say stock receiver, which stock receiver is it. Cheers

Mr. steal, I am absolutely new to FPV and I just received my TaranisQ X7 and it did not come with a battery tray so my question to you is what battery do you recommend and a good charger for it..??? Please and thank you for your time

hey man, gotta a question about the antenna mod. I have purchased the taranis x9D plus SE. Since it comes with the antenna mod already done should I switch out the heavier gauge coax cable internally? I took it apart being curious how they built it and noticed it is a rather thin gauge wired connected from the bottom of the antenna to the pad. Should I bother? Will it still give me extra distance? I have learned a great deal form your channel, thanks for all the info man. Any suggestions here would be greatly appreciated. later -J-Skins

I did this mod with these parts, correctly I believe, and I'm getting terrible reception now. Could my tx be damaged? Any way to definitively check?
