Module Question for Devo 7E was created by bugman72
I am new to the Deviation scene and just received my Devo 7E last Thursday. I've already loaded Deviation on it and everything SEEMS to be working. I say "seems to be" only because I currently do not own any craft that use the protocols NOT requiring additional modules. That is where my questions lie.

When I purchased my 7E from Banggood, I also purchased two modules: an A7105 for my Hubsans and Proto Xs and a NRF24L01 for my Syma X5C and Dromida Ominus. Below are the links to the two modules that I purchased.

NRF24L01 Module

Now, I'm pretty sure that I'll be good to go with the A7105 module. My question/concern is more directed towards the NRF24L01 module. The one I purchased has an external antenna and, after further reading on the forum, appears to NOT have a PA. Am I going to have trouble with this module once installed? Should I look in to purchasing a different module? Since I fly my Dromida more than my other quads, I am most concerned with making sure this module will work properly.

If this isn't the one I should have purchased, does anyone have a suggestion on which module I should get? Does Banggood have one that will work that I could get in exchange for the one that I hope to receive soon?

The A7105 Module is ok, but the nRf24l01 module will have a weak range for the Ominus. Think about buy another one with PA.

So, it appears that this might be the one I should get, correct?

I am then only to assume that I need to get an antenna for this board as well. Is this what I need?

Sorry, I forget to put the link for the good one.
This one works perfect, only need to add your own antenna:

Also, you can but this one including antenna:

I installed the second one, ripping the antenna case to install inside the TX.
