Welcome to L-com

Scotttu: That's a cool idea! I'm not sure myself what it does to the warranty, but most of the antennas are made in fairly small batches so they are usually workable (as apposed to something made in the thousands that are usually sealed up pretty good)... Do you shorten them to get better signal integrity between the antenna and the radio, or...?

Dave

Yes, and I had 5 feet of coax coiled up - if there were to be any leakage that would certainly cause some issue (Doubtful) mostly was for cable management but it also minimizes the length of the coax...

But I sure like the 14DBI with the N - connector!

wow, good timing on Lcom joining. i actually ordered a 5.8 omni yesterday. welcome.

Thank you for the welcome, tree! We're excited to be here!

I hope you enjoy the Omni! Does it give you enough range for FPV flight? What other gear are you using in your setup? Just curious!

im short range at this time. i dont have enough battery or radio for long range. im using fatshark googles, 600mw video tx, and a uno 5800 receiver hooked to a netbook and 24 inch monitor. as soon as the Lcom omni arrives im gonna tried mid range on my quadcopter in my neighborhood. there is this giant pine tree down the street that i have a goal of flying around and come back and RTH autoland.

Nice! Well good luck and have fun! If you have a video or pic that involves our product (even if it isn't really in the picture very much), I'd love to see it!
