Dual Futaba receiver. Better Range?

[badtoys]

Hello everyone.

I want to know if I install dual receivers on my 14sg radio will improve the range of the reception.

I plan to use it in my Dji550 with naza v2.

Thanks

your logic escapes me. surely dual receivers just offer more ports to play with?

 

[R_Lefebvre]

No.

What do you mean by dual receivers? Satellites? Or literally two separate receivers (which can't be done!)?

 

[soggybottoms]

No.

thanks for that enlightenment

EzUHF works well from the back of my Futaba:

Yes it can be done. You can use two receivers that give you 14 channel. I had noticed that I lose signal when I have more than 1 km and the coppter is facing me. ( the receiver is in the back)

How does having 14 channels increase range?

Lord knows!

Just place your receiver antenna straight down so you get a good 360 degrees reception and you're away. It doesn't matter which way the receiver is facing, just the antennas. if they are sticking straight out of the back then this is your problem.

Well, 1km is about as far as you'll typically get with typical power and rubber duck antennas anyway. Actually, I normally only get about 500m.

Adding an extra receiver will not change that. What you need is a better antenna, more power, or both.

OK. Thank you all. Excuse my poor English

I can't do that. I experienced some interference with the other electronic in the coppter.

I has gone much more away
