				Increasing range on devo10 was created by ummagawd			
			
				I've tried searching for "increase range" , "max range", "increase distance" as we'll as plain old google and even reading the last couple of pages. I'm usually not on one to ask, but I'm burnt out.
I'd like to know what my options are for increasing range out to 2.5km (or close). My FPV equipment (on 5.
 will do 2km before static, hence the 2.5ish goal.
My search has lead me to LRS setups (like dragon link). I believe I can use this with the trainer port.
However 30miles is overkill. I've read that some futaba modules will do 2km easy?
Anyways, if someone can help me understand what I have to do or even just give me links, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

				Okay - made some progress. It looks like I can use a 2.4g wifi booster.
I plan to use this: www.ebay.com/itm/150969802664
The only part i don't get now is how to connect my devo 10 output signal to this booster? It looks like it takes "SMA"...
can someone help me out with what type of adapter I need?
OR can someone tell me if the antenna connection is the same as say a devo 7 or 8? (I see alot of threads on those Tx's and how they modify the antennas)
Thanks!

				hey magic - sorry for the late reply (I didn't have notification turned on)
Anyways - a booster is a booster so this should be just fine for your devo 8. The question becomes HOW you connect to it.
I don't know anything about the 8, but on my 10, I will need a u.FL to sma male.
Basically, take the output signal out of your 8 and ensure the other end is an sma male as the input side of the sunhan is sma female.
Hope that helps.
ALSO, its IMPORTANT that your output is reduced to somewhere close to 20-30mW on your Tx, if you can't go that low... use an attenuator.

				Hello guys. Did someone have succes to connect the Devo8s to a sunhan booster? How did you connect it? I read about a a u.FL to sma male, but can't you just connect the booster with sma to sma?

				Hi, you may also look at this:
< freeantennas.com/ >
I've seen posts of people getting enormous range increase simply with a "Windsurferantenna"
It works like a booster, but only in one direction.
