That's an interesting array. After looking at several of their products, I'll point out that they offer zero information on the actual antennas used. No gain figures, no plots, nothing. At least the picture alludes that they may actually use a power divider, though I doubt its efficiency, as...

I'll add that when I went to update RID for my Evo2's, Since I only have 1 module that I can move around, the FAA told me to delete all the airframes and only track the RID serials. After some discussion with several folks I know in the FAA, they agreed (note I didn't say confirmed) that this is...

This is not what the FAA told me, nor how the device inventory is designed. Given that there is no database field for a chassis/airframe identifier, there is then no way to tell what RID would match to what airframe. On a related topic, when the last rep asked me what UAS I was trying to...

I've spoken with several FAA staff about this. I had 4 aircraft registered and have a single device. All staff told me to remove the aircraft and enter only the device serial. When I inquired as to how this affected operations prior to September, I didn't receive a response. Thus aircraft...

U.FL. You can almost buy them anywhere. Getting the correct length will be an issue, depending on which one you damaged.

Both antennas (SHF) are used for tx/rx. It is a dual chain configuration. The return to supporting 900 in the US infers they are UHF/SHF antennas. If you read previous posts, there is no point to designing new antennas. Simply use 6-8db omnis as is. If you have the ability to point them...

You summed it up :-)

Given that typical transmission line such as LMR400 has a loss of ~7db per 100', using a remote antenna at say 20 or 30 feet is certainly plausible. Yes, you'd have an additional 2db of loss, however, eliminating obstructions between may well be worth it. I've used a 10 foot jumper between a...

I stumbled across this post and thought I'd add some commentary. I've worked in microwave for a long time, designing and supporting both fixed and mobile operations. I'll admit that I have experimented with antennas on my controller and I'll explain why this doesn't yield the results most want...

A lot easier to levy fines and cause grief just by saying "let me see your paperwork." You don't even have to fly.

jaja6009 - I wish you had an Autel too! Nebraska State Patrol uses Evo2's (plain model) for their accident reconstruction and several counties also use plain Evo2s for various tasks as well. I run an Evo2v1 for many unofficial mapping missions and often think about stepping into the more...

I am affiliated with a SAR team that uses onboard helo imaging, which has this capability, in real time. The camera operator also has a laser rangefinder slaved to the suite, thus the helos position is known to with a few cm, the angle is known, and the distance, thus eliminating the target...

25 with gusts to 30. I wouldn't fly grids with it at that speed.

I have debated gutting a battery and setting up a tether. I've done it for other platforms and fall over laughing when I see $10k price tags for sub 1k solutions. Surely one of the vendors has considered it....

And as someone already mentioned... "mine works great" ;-) This was exactly why I dropped DJI - non-stop disconnects. I haven't had a single one with the E2P.
