Shikra's FPV Groundstation

[Shikra]

Made up a biquad for my GS. The 14db patch was a bit heavy and after 3 years the servo packed up the other day.  This one is real light and on ground test it seems to be a touch better performance wise.

Can see the old one for size comparison

looks bent!

or is that just the uploaded picture?  :-)


Nice one G, ive been using my biquad for nearly a year now & its by far the best antenna i own, works really well near the ground too!

[Shikra]

Oh aye - the pics gone weird !!

No bends here mate!

I haven't flown with it yet, but put a tx down the street far enouh to get nothing on an omni and a grainy pic pn the old patch. With thi sone it was still grainy, but  a little clearer. So am hopefull. But it is sooo much lighter. The other one was pretty heavy. Worked well though.

Going to try a double biquad next. Maybe even a double stacked. Not sure if the second is an option yet.

I've got some CP, but after using the tracker, they were a bit of a letdown really.

Added another groundstation to the fleet....

Was trying the add image , but kept getting error message about board not existing. So pasted direct link from postimage

[Coyote]

Yeah the postimage feature is not working Gary, so if you want to upload direct use the way I described above bud
