I have a Radiomaster TX16S mk1 TX that I have had almost since they were launched. In true boy racer style I have upgraded the stick units to the latest type and also added a carbon effect front, very bling! The most recent mod was to add the removable antenna to make the TX easier to pack for transport and I wondered if there was any benefit in trying a higher gain antenna on the normal internal multi protocol module? Radiomaster sell a Moxon type (attached) which is intended for ELRS protocol use and I wondered if this, or indeed any other higher gain antenna type, would be of benefit to the range on the normal internal multi protocol module my TX has? There was some debate here recently on range issues with the Radiomaster and Frsky receivers with the internal Tx module and the usual tuning issues were discussed but I also wondered if the TX antenna would have made a difference? I have taken a look on the internet but find nothing of direct interest other than about the ELRS protocol BVLOS flying. I have to confess that I do have an ELRS module I use in this TX and have experimented with different antenna for this and even using them in normal VLOS flying, which is all I do, there does seem to be a benefit to signal strength using a more directional and higher gain antenna. The use of the ELRS protocol has reduced the telemetry lost and RSSI warnings I get to zero for all the flying I have done so far but I wonder, would the higher gain type antenna work on a more “normal” TX and has anyone else tried this?
