How to test Taranis TX range
#1
How do I a range test with the taranis x9d plus on the bench? I searched for YT videos on the procedure but did not find anything useful, just people flying/walking away from the craft with the tx on their hand to see when they lost RSSI. 

I ask because I changed my radio broken antenna. SWR is mostly 0 and sometimes 1.

Right next to the bind option in the menu you'll find range mod. When in range test mode the output power is 1/30th of the normal power.

Hit that and Walk away.

When you hear telemetry lost you have exceeded the range.

So the real range is roughly the range you got * 30.

You can't do a range check on the bench. You need distance!

If your SWR reading keeps jumping between 0 and 1, you have a problem somewhere. Either the antenna connection, the connection to the antenna pigtail inside or a problem with the RF output stage of your taranis.

If your previous antenna was broken and you had the radio turned on with a broken antenna, there's a good chance that you could damage the output stage of the radio's transmitter.
