Hey
I am new to this Hobby, and was looking for my first (real) transmitter. After searching and looking for systems I was very confused.
There are two important things to know about my attitudes on stuff like that:
- never go cheap on things that can last for a long time
- always plan the next step
I want to start with a light, easy to flight foamboard-plane, and the next step should be something that will cover Long distances.
after some listening and googling I always hear 2.4GHz is crap for long distances.... and all I could find were 2.4GHz transmitters.
And than I found those 433MHz Tx/Rx modules. they are covering much longer distances. So I was thinking maybe I should get a 433 capable Transmitter, because the price tag is not significantly higher.
But I guess that there is more to this subject than I have uncovered. So PLEASE someone explain why I should use 2.4GHz when 433 covers longer distances at the same Price.
(maybe it is possible to boost the sh** out of 2.4GHz and cover the same distance)
I appreciate every helping answer
