0 Hey
If I use the Crossfire antenna U.FL on the elrs receiver, will the range differ?
I used one, and the range was good, and I used another, but the range was bad

You can't use a TBS Crossfire antenna on a 2.4GHz receiver because the Crossfire antennas are tuned for a 900MHz frequency. If you managed to get a Crossfire antenna to work on a 2.4GHz ELRS receiver then I'm surprised and it is just luck that you managed to get any kind of range at all, but I wouldn't risk using the quad again with that antenna on it. Put an antenna on that is tuned to the 2.4GHz frequency.

If you need to pad an order out, throw a couple of packs of them into your cart. They are really useful. I try to keep a few of them in my spares box as i've destroyed a couple of them in bandos.
