Elevation
The data telemetry and remote-control range achieved will be GREATLY increased as the operator posi-
tion is elevated. Elevation is the single biggest factor in achieving effective range. It is advisable to select a
control position where there is maximum elevation, even if this means the operator will be further from
the boat. Both the RC and data antennae are close to the water surface and an elevated control position
greatly enhances the ability of the boat to send / receive data.
Elevation is critical in determining operating range.
The orientation of the RC transmitter antenna becomes important during long range operation. The
transmitter antenna must not be pointed at the boat but instead should remain vertical – in the same di-
rection (plane) as the boat antennae receiving the signal.
Figure 16.
Omni Antenna
The antenna is Omni directional (the best reception is around the antenna in a doughnut
shape);
do not orientate the antenna by pointing the tip of the antenna at the boat
.
