OK... What's to be gained? Have you done this and if so did it work / was it worth it?

946m tx distance at 120m altitude. Lost FPV after 500m. With the factory antennas, I'm lucky to get 400m before I lose tx signal.

I did this mod and have full bars on what used to be my distance limit. Now do you know which antenna is wifi on the drone? There is a small wire that hangs out on the left rear arm, and a long black wire that runs the distance in the same arm, all the way up to the prop motor. I would like to install a small wifi antenna on the drone to get better reception from my tablet, but I dont know which antenna is which.

I am wondering the same as Freebird.

I came across your channel and your antenna mod before even finding this forum. Thanks for sharing!

WiFi will be my next project.

PS. Hello from a former Decatur guy.

Excellent idea, thanks. It occurred to me that you could splice off of the active antenna wire and use the "dummy" antenna slot for the 6db SMA Antenna Mod? Then you would have 2 active antennas. There shouldn't be any conflict, and you might transmit even further?
