Spektrum AR8000 Question

Helloooo
I noticed there was another thread on the 8000 but did not want to high jack it :)
Question is simple.
On the AR8000 it also has the satellite add-on.
I am running it on my 250 Quad and was curious if I can just remove it, the satellite that is?
Would I loose much if I did or should I just leave well enough alone :)
I had read that once I go FPV I should keep the FPV antenna as far away from the
RX as possible and I would assume that this is true of the satellite also?
If so I will need to move the satellite to a different area of the quad.
Currently it is in the read of the quad mounted under the top plate.
I plan on mounting the FPV antenna towards the rear of the quad.

if I remember correctly you cant run the ar8000 without a satellite fitted, but I maybe wrong! it has been known to happen, lol

I think you can run it without the sat, bit you are going to lose your diversity and about 75% of your range. I wouldn't chance it.
