Which antennas will work together?

I'm new to the forums and would like to get into FPV I saw a kit on ready-made RC that has everything you need to get into FPV you have several options on what type of antenna you can get in I was wondering which RX antennas would be compatible with which TX antennas. The default antenna for the receiver is an 8dBi patch antenna. I was taught however that the patch antennas are one directional and need to be pointed out the plane at all times. There is an option for a skew planar wheel whip circular polarised RX antenna that I would like to get. However I do not know which transmitter option will be compatible with that antenna. One of the antennas besides the stock transmitter antenna is a cloverleaf whip circular polarised antenna. I was wondering Are these two antennas compatible with each other, and what would my results be compared to just using the standard antennas? Any advice would be great.

YES the cloverleaf and the skew planer are the correct pair. The result is extended range over stock antennas.

Although the patch antenna is directional you will get better range and clarity with it and you can still fly behind you and out of the beam just not as much the Omni. Heres a great video on antennas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptcIFC6dqb0#t=500

Good Luck with your Fpv flying hope you have a blast in the long run you will be happy with the patch.
 
IMO a patch for receiving and a clover for transmitting are a good combo. You eliminate multipath interference but also get tons of range. Just Make sure your controls link isnt going to be lost if you go too far.
