Using this combo:http://hobbywireless.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=117_7&products_id=17
its 900mhz 500mW.
Im using an IBCrazy Vee antenna on my transmitter and a 5dBi whip on my rx.
I only get about 100 meters before it is impossible to see what is going on. which is way under what it should be even with stock antennas. Please note im using an Axial Wraith not an aircraft. Even in open straight LOS it only goes 100 meters. Could this be multipathing off of the ground? Gets worse near buildings and the shrubbery in the parks field. Please help answer this for me. I want to make sure i didnt just waste my money.
Oh one more thing. The vee antenna came with blue wire insulator still on the outside. do i remove this? and with no white element which end faces upward?
-Thanks, Caleb
