My goodness, I love this channel. Legit content, sir. Thank you!!!!!!!!!

Thank for sharing your findings .

If Range Mode used 1/30th the power, you cannot just multiply the range results by 30 to get expected full power range. Power drops at the square of distance, not linearly.

Nice content!!! Congrats from Brazil!

Thanx for a great video!!

Thanks Steve. I purchased a Video Aerial Systems Shapeshifter 2.4 Antenna when first released for my Jumper T16 radio after I installed the multi Tx but I never got around to using it. The antenna sound promising so I now need to decide if I should modify my Radiomaster T16S to use it. Though I mostly use full range Crossfire on all my radios including my Futaba T18SZ.

Can you please link the stl file for the antenna attachment aswell as the extesion you used?:)

Saw in another video you were raving about the tx16max - have you switched over to that, and if so did you find the antenna on that better than original or did you have to upgrade the max antenna as well?

The best video for radiomaster antenna hack in KZfaq ....

So basically, you need to go TBS crossfire to get a decent range

Should do a TBS nano range check ..

Steve what's a good goggle's in the 250 to 350 range that comes complete?

Thanks for the test. I also think this may be more a test of the antenna as a receiving antenna as opposed to transmitting. I say that because you were using the telemetry signal back to the transmitter. I know that while flying fpv , I have “lost telemetry “ but still had control of the model. All in all , I think you’re totally correct Thant there is certainly “some” range gain with this antenna even if we don’t know what exactly that number is. Keep it up and maybe that Orange Dodge will wear his tires out and eventually leave!

"Until dumb ass is done with his shenanigans" 🤣

Can you make a video about how to use radiomasters to simulator?

Do you use Crossfire?

I get a lot more range with my stock antenna and flysky receiver on my TX16s

With my stock FS i6x and an Fli14+ diversity rx i get arround 600m and with two added LR antennas i get a maximum of 1,8 KM under perfect conditions...but i rather put CRSF micro tx on my TX16 before i ruin it by modding the hell out of it..

Your quad should have been higher or you need flatter area to test range normaly.. People doesnt fly near ground when 1km away. :)

You had to struggle soo much for this test . My radioking tx18s has a removable antenna with an SMA antenna so i can remove my antenna without openning my radio . That might mean i have poorer range on stock but yeah changing it for the aftermarket one is super easy or probably even easier than the word easy itself.

Elrs way cheaper works much further. Comes stock now on mark ii.

Your conditions were not identical. First time you were in the back of a metal vehicle and the antenna was laying on its side. Second time there was a human on the light post with the quad. You need to place the quad on something with no metal. And you need a clear line of sight with no buildings/metal along the sides.

You were in omni

UAAAUUUUU It's the Walter White's car...
