Hi.
I want to make a retranslator to increase a range. With retranslation of the PPM and video signal I am clear but I have some doubts with 3DR Radios.
Will it work?

Very cool! I guess a balloon would work also. It would just be harder to deploy.
Are you doing this for a specific project or just for personal use?
This is a very simple approach, I like it! It would be really interesting if the retranslator incorporated a Pixhawk or APM which handled message forwarding and then you could create a simple mesh network!
It looks possible. Just make sure everything is on the same baudrate. Also a large channel separation between the radio pairs wouldn't hurt. Will another aircraft be carrying the retranslator, or is it ground based?
I think it will be another aircraft :). I presume the range should increase dramatically.
He can also use one pair with 433MHz band and another with 868/915MHz.
Should.
