Antenna for 2.4Ghz 14dBi Directional

 RoBo_Guy 230 points

No, it will have bad response with a 1.2Ghz system(shorter frequencies have larger wavelengths and hence need longer antennas). At the moment I can't find any antennas for 1.2Ghz systems on HobbyKing but you can do a Google search about DIY circular polarized antenna or DTY Patch antenna. Hope this helps! :-)

buenas tengo un amigo que a usado esta pach con un equipo de de 1.2Ghz y a tenido muy buenos resultados a 8kilometros...yo voy a pillarme una de estas.

 RoBo_Guy 230 points

Yes, you can use it for both 2.4Ghz and 5.8Ghz systems, only the gain will be different! You can also try - www.link

sorry the link didn't post, here it is - www.link

 RoBo_Guy 230 points

yes, joumana, you can use it for any 2.4 ghz system and it will work fine!

 RoBo_Guy 230 points

Btw, you can use it for 5.8Ghz also! :-)

Actually, there should be no problem as long as your router has removable antennas. Just remember that this is a DIRECTIONAL antenna, so you will need to keep it pointed in the general direction of your devices.

 alex.khoroshko 366 points

Only if you're within the specified angle from antenna (110/45 degree). But if you want high range wifi bridge - it's perfect. I have the 2 routers with yagi antennas, I exceed 30 mbit/sec * 300 meters in noisy enviroment (plenty of wifi networks in the same area)

 Chris 10 points

It really depends on your setup. If you are using a 14dBi directional patch, WITH a tracking base station, AND there is no 2.4Ghz interferance in the area you are flying in, you should be able to reach up to about 15K. But keep in mind you will have to be using UHF on your transmitter for control in order to keep up with this distance. I hope this helps you out.

 Chris 10 points

It may be possible, but this antenna is most typically used to improve reception and range of a 2.4ghz video receiver for FPV (first person view) flight.

 pilpul 15 points

No, This antenna will have very bad response with 1.2GHz. The other way around is more likely: use a 1.2Ghz for a 2.4GHz transmitter and receiver.

 pilpul 15 points

Yes, a good antenna for the alpha module.

 Casper 67 points

and can i use it for the hk 100mw 2.4ghz fpv tx rx?

 king hrag 14 points

if your thinking of using the same transmitter that came with your bixler you cant use this antenna or any other antenna

 pilpul 15 points

Just don't forget that this is a directional antenna.

 andreas13 71 points

yes it can use on turnigy 9x transmiter , but you must remember that is directional antenna

 NIKOLAOS 19 points

You have to make a custom pan-tilt base to fit this antenna. Imagine something like www.link with bigger servos and base. Its very easy to do.

 pilpul 15 points

Please pay attentions to the spec: Horizontal Plane: 110degree Vertical Plane: 45degree This means that you probably would need only pan or tilt depending on your application.

 AlexM 18 points

Hi, there are no files or spec sheet for these, which is horizontal and vertical, not all ant have fitting in the vertical plane, (fitting at bottom=vertical)

 pilpul 15 points

Hi, You are right but it must be very easy to test. just take a standard antenna and make the link over a distance of 100 m or more, you should see the difference easily.

 bowie 2 points

With this antenna your looking at getting 7-10k now hook this patch up with diversity and a 19dbi yagi on a ground tracking station and you will be in business for close to long range flying 15k easily

 billsflyer 22 points

It depends alot on the mw of tx and your enviroment electronic noise can limit distance also direct line of site gives best range that means nothing between you and plane, that is why a lot of videos as the plane flys further away it flys higher.

 pilpul 15 points

You can use a link budget calculator and you will get reasonable data. however, if you know what is your current range of good reception, with assuming 2dbi antenna, now using 14dbi you have extra 12 dbi. if you had 0.5Km, your new range would be approx 2 if you had 1Km, your new range would be approx 4 if you had 2Km, your new range would be approx 7 This is just an estimate based on not enough data. Good luck.

 diy-pro 290 points

Yes it can you just need the adapter to fit the smaller coax plug

 pilotavery 131 points

3G operates on the 850 mhz, 900 mhz and 2100 mhz. It might boost the range a LITTLE bit, but it's not tuned, so not much. 4G LTE uses 1800 and 2200 mhz if I am not mistaken. On 4G LTE you might do a little better on the 2.2 Ghz, but again, not much.

 pilpul 15 points

No, don't use this for the wrong frequency, you will get bad results, you need to buy antenna for the frequency that you want to use it on.

 Alexander 628 points

HK has only this one.
Try other FPV Shops or google for L-COM.
They have a wide variety of antennas.

 Alexander 628 points

How about 20c ?

 Alexander 628 points

Now they offer a 5.8Ghz antenna:
Antenna for 5.8GHz FPV 16dBi Directional
Produkt ID: 262000002

You will need a adapter for this N Female plug.
Most VideoRX use SMA or SMA-RP plugs

 Alexander 628 points

Any further questions ?

very powerful

 BrianB192 1294 points

HK has both look now i got both they great well worth the money

 danikronos 660 points

this antenna can increase the range two to three times but there must be line of sight is not advisable to put for this purpose have small patch antennas

 ICVFPV 12 points

I wouldn't use it for model control. I use mine for video Rx since the patch at 14dBi is very directional and you don't want to lose model control if you fly out of the beam.

 Dan O. 402 points

Instead, use a 1W booster and a omni (whip) antenna, which will be able to control the plane no matter if it's in front or behind you.

 benybee 34 points

Dan O. where can i get the 1W boster? it's illegal in some country (FYI)

 iskyphoto 24 points

I also wonder if it can be used with a 9X frsky? if you do accept the fact tha it is directional You can use it.

 Nicolasto 1 points

Yes you can.

 BradleyK 69 points

well, Antennas are tuned for a specific frequencies, so this will only work well on 2.4 and multiples of the harmonic

 Michael 42 points

you can use this antenna for every fpv system from HK. (use ist as a receiver)

 Sujit Hait 36 points

No, it work on 2.4GHz antenna

 kiwi dom 2 points

i realise that Sujit , I want them to bring one out for the 5.8ghz system

 Muneeb 1 points

you can find a 5.8ghz antenna on bevrc****

 _JeaN_ 110 points

se o seu kit for de 2.4ghz vai aumentar sim vai dar uns 5km a mais. caso seu kit nao for 2.4 da uma procurada aqui no site que vc acha.

 ckller 35 points

Hi, this antenna must be connected to a video reciever : the best ones are made by Lawmate. Then this video Reciever must be connected to a display device, like the Fatshark Googles available by HobbyKing. In the Plane, you must install a camera, and a video transmitter (you can use a Fatshark transmitter, and a Fatshark camera : they work well together and havevplug and play cables : you don't need to solder anything). Regarding the base station : either install the Patch antenna on a tripod a

 Loukatos 66 points

Luis you have to study a lot before purcasing anything! You know nothing for now so start reading a bit and then you buy the equipment. When I wanted to start fpv I first studied about a year, reading artcicles about fpv in foroums and sites in general. You should do the same!

 H-KING_SCOTT 5161 points

I dont see why not.
It's 2.4Ghz and if your system is 2.4 then it will work.

 Dennis 6 points

Yes, it's a standard 2.4 ghz antenna. It should work fine as a Wifi extension. Just be aware, that it's a pretty directional antenna, and the included connector (SMA) is probably different from the connector on your router.

 Till 1 points

Yes, it can if you have an router/dongle with an SMA connector.

 vschouten 30 points

Yes. Uses the same frequancy bance as Wifi.

 David 46 points

This is a Wifi range extender!

 CrashinDutchman 281 points

This antenna is meant to be used for video. I am not sure if you can use it on your r/c transmitter.

 chris6391 26 points

Possibly with some engineering but you wouldn't want this on your model. It is a receiver ant for video FPV applications.

 Nico123 50 points

dear Sfakias,
this antenna is only for recieving signals, not for transmitting.
you will damage your radio.

 lcs186kmps 48 points

Hi there, yes it will work very well as it is meant to be used for the 2.4ghz frequency band, it will give you longer range for you transmitter because of the 11dbi rating which amplifys the transmitter power by 11 decibels, for every 1 decibel increase in the rating of the antenna the power output of the transmitter is doubled. hope this helps you cheers

 Niels-Erik 40 points

No the antenna are for FPV downlink-It is not a RC transmitter antenna

 martseger63 215 points

lcs186kmps, youre wrong. The power is doubled with every 3db, not 1.

 dps-dave 204 points

Hi
yes it will as long as you have an sma connector when you remove the antenna
if you need any more info try pm me as the HK link doesn't work on my pc

Dave uk

 Maxwell8686 33 points

no it should only be used for video transmition

 vschouten 30 points

No. Not needed and you can't connect it anyway.

 samith 502 points

This antenna is optimized for 2.4Ghz

 dps-dave 204 points

No It is only ment for 2.4 Ghz

 roscoaus 26 points

I would think not. Antenna is meant for 2.4GHz.

 vschouten 30 points

No. Only for 2.4G.

 Michael 42 points

no this antenna is just for 2.4Ghz

 H-KING_SCOTT 5161 points

It will work with fatshark goggles.

 dps-dave 204 points

Yes and they work a treat i have mine on a hard hat just velcro tape on the back

 Steveone78 68 points

Das sage ich dir was ein Beschiss. Mal eben den Versand Verdoppeln ganz klasse. Da lohnt das bestellen ja schon wieder fast nicht.
