"I've flown with other 2.4 people around with no problem. Not sure how it would be if I were using 2.4 for control. I'm using a DTF UHF 433mhz module on my Taranis for that."

"Screw 5.8ghz and go for 2.3ghz.  Working wonders for me after I hacked the atheros drivers. Better penetration too. :)"

"Isn't that just for Atheros chipsets?  Was hoping for something for Realtek chipsets in the Alfas on 2.3GHz."

"Yep, just changed the main loop (amongst other things) to write to two cards.  I've seen it work where at range (through a few walls in my house) one channel is clearer than the other and thus continues to give me a clean picture. :)"

"It can do two-way comms although the throughput will obviously be less than optimal.  You can run tx and rx on both ends.  Worked for me."

"Had some fun in the park today.  Camera wobble gone.  The lense I'm using doesn't do justice to the cause though and creates an unwanted blur.  Overall, I was very pleased with how well things improved with CP antennas.  Antennas are everything!…"

"I bought mine off Amazon and used a shipping forwarding service to get them here in the US. Cost me around $80 in total for 2 CSL's."

"In my experience a lower intra-frame frequency is better when flying at the edge of reception as although the image is garbled I can still get a sense of what I'm seeing.  A higher intra-frame frequency seems to cut out the whole picture more and…"

"Noice!! You can put some epoxy glue around the top middle part of the antenna where the elements join to protect it from bending and breaking when you crash. I love making these. So much cheaper than buying them. :)"
