Setups Antenna's

[WyDiablo]

I'm running an immersionRC 600mW transmitter now. And I"m about to order 2 antennas for an upgrade. These are the antennas that I was thinking about ordering.

But below this antenna it tells of a problem with 5.8 transmitters that you have to fix. Clicking on the link it says that its just for the 2.4. So what the heck is right or whats wrong. I do not want to break down my transmiter to make the antennas work.

You should not have a problem. I have the same tx and no problem. I think these antennas will do a better job for you though.

I have a set if these. I do use the circular wireless antennas myself but there not on sale this month. The blue beams however are some of the best antennas you can get! That warning I think I've seen on all the antennas.

 

[WyDiablo]

So you are saying the the antenan that you list would work better than the one that I chose?

 

[breeze400]

Yes they are top rated antennas. Although there straight antennas you can put a 90 degree bend in them with a heat gun or buy the 90 adapter. But if your looking for that mile range that your sapposed to get with your setup, buy the blue beams!

I'm glad you told me I was about to order the wrong stuff. i think this is the 90 degree adapter that I need for those antennas.

It should be. You should check to see if you need a male to female adapter to screw them into the TX RX. Just look at you TX RX and see. They should be female. Then check the antennas and see if they are male or female. I had to order the male to female adapters for my antenna cause the had the same ends as my TX Rx's did.

I just looked myself and it looks like they should screw right onto the TX RX's. so the 90's should take care of it! Lol.

I use these. They work realy well as they are designed for the Fatshark/ImmerrsionRC TXs. And they are protected in the event of a crash.

Ok, I checked the stock antenna for my fatshark and its a male to female connector, so I think that the 90 degree adapter that I show above will work

 

[breeze400]

I looked at the ends of the blue beams and those adapters should work.

The two antennas are about the same , one just is single and has a right angle, the other is the pair without the right angle. Look at the data sheet. No biggie though. Most all Blue Beams/ Clover Leaf work good just don't get a cheap made one.

I use this brand.... they are very well made. 5.8 GHz Circular Wireless Omni TX/RX Skew Planar Wheel Combo

 

[breeze400]

The circular wireless is what I use too.

I was checking out all the options for antenna's. Trying to make sure I get a good one and one that's well made also. That's why I came here and ask some many questions from the guys that have much more experience than myself. You guys are the ones that have done all the trail and error work. And by now you should know whats the best out there. I"m very great full for all the help that I have received here also. Many thanks
