12dBi mini-panel antenna
#1
Hello,

Surfing around HK with nothing to do, I find this:


http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store..._SMA_.html

Seems quite interesting and everything looks nice on paper, but I can't find any decent write-ups or reviews about it.

Anyone around has any knowledge on this contraption?

Not sure how they differ but I bought

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store...rch=Aomway

Allegedly it's out for delivery right now. We will see how well it works. I'm using a orange rx and I dknt think it's full range, so I'm not sure I can properly test the antenna

I've not tried this one, but I am trying out this one from survielzone http://www.surveilzone.com/5.8ghz-14dbi-...nna-pa1184

The one from hobbyking has to be more 'sturdy' in it's construction, the one I got from surveilzone has zero structural support anywhere, so I used my hotglue gun around the corners/edges to give the panels some strength. Also the SMA connector is push fit and popped mine off wound up having to get it into basic position/orientation and solder it on.

All that said it does work great, 3+ football field lengths range (probably further that's the max available space i fly in typically) no drop outs or lines with a 200w foxeer vtx and fr832 diversity receiver with this and an foxeer circularly polarized antenna.

Bruce from RCModelReviews said the Aomway performs really bad:
But his model was ANT005, the one on hobbyking is ANT005B, I don't know if they differ in some way. I've just seen that the connector is in the middle in the ANT005B.

Gotta be an older model of the aomway. Mine has the connector coming out of the back, and it clearly performs better than cp antenna on my diversity monitor.
