   Hey all..... Question!.... I have Turnigy 9xr with an Orange 2.4 module with an extremely short antenna!   Do i have any options for a longer and higher db antenna for that module and what do you recommend?   Running 914 mhz for 3ds and 5.8 ghz for video. Have Clover leafs coming for 5.8 also and figured the 3ds would be ok on stock antennas.

that is what im running on my 9xr with a frysky module not sure if it would fir the orange tho but guessing it would have the same sma connector ?????

vastly improved range for a cheap fix

  I noticed that whip is 5db. Ive seen some 10dbs but claim for 2.4ghz wifi antennas. They apear to be same coax connector but i do t know if thats what i want or is the 5 db you showed me plenty. :/

With the 5db whip I get the same range as my clovered 5.8 VTX which suits me
you can get larger DB aerials but most i have seen are directional so you have to keep TX pointed to the RX esp at distance
