How to get best range
Archived range is only the result of the wanted signal to noise ratio. Local noise emitters are the most
common way to ruin good receiver’s capabilities to pick up weak signals at long range. The system got a
transmitter to receiver calculated line of sight range of over 100km. We know at least one customer who
actually performed a full flight over 100km out and back. To be able to get the full possible range this
system can deliver, you need to be very sure nothing on your plane emit noise in the used frequency band,
if it does it will affect the range. This means also it is very easy to detect using range checks.
LED indicator
Constant light = PPM ok, power supply ok
Blinking LED = Power supply ok, but no valid PPM
No Light = No power supply voltage
Range Check
Can be done just like any conventional RC systems and please follow the following steps:
1.
Unmount the TX antenna and set it to low power.
2.
Expect 4-10 meters of range.
3.
Check you have same (short) range with motor on/off and with video cams and video transmitters
on/off.
4.
If no change in the range result, then mount TX antenna again and fly.
5.
If any unit on your plane affect your range, you are supposed to seek and fix it, if you want to take
full advantage of the systems capabilities, or at least obtain a system with best possible signal to
noise margin.
