Antenna upgrades

[rossching]

Anyone have any good recommendations for after market antennas that would work with Lightbridge? I broke one of my paddle antennas and was thinking of getting a Bluebeam 2.4ghz omni but that'd mean I'd need an adapter to make the air system, no?

No one is upgrading antennas?

I have some TP-LINK antennas that I used previously with a Vision project. Was thinking of trying them out (would need adapters) with my ground unit.

Contact Tony at FPVLR. I remember him saying he has antennas for the light bridge too!

Our half sphere will triple the stock lightbridge range . Best setup up would be half sphere plus 2.4 Ghz pinwheel on ground and 2 pinwheels in the air or 2 dipoles at 90 degrees on the bird.

Not only that, if your range is not extremely improved we will refund completely, that's how confident we are about it.

I'm not sure how any modifications to the air end antennas are possible as they don't seem to use sma or rp sma connections. Could you link us to the ground end mod antennas.

This is mildly directional just shy of 9dbi , and can be built with rg-402 cable

this one is omnidirectional and same polarization as that one, and can go on the second antenna port.

I expect there to be a specific lightbridge section for a package in the future.

Awesome antennas.And they have also MMcx connector cables for the air unit. http://horizonfpvantennas.mybigcommerce ... ched-sets/

I ordered some adapters for my Lightbridge ground unit so I can connect my TP-LINK antennas. I'll give it a test run this weekend.

How did your test go?

I'm curious about upgrading Lightbridge antenna's.

What was the range and link quality on your test flight?

Would love to hear about experiences upgrading the base station antennas.

The basic ground station antennas are described as 5dBI. I wonder if these 9dBI antennas would be an improvement?

or http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-ANT240 ... pd_cp_pc_2

Also considering a directional patch antenna -

Any updates on the ground end?
