Hi all.
Not sure if anybody here can offer advice. Seems this forum is for particular drones that I don't have. I have what is often referred to as a 'cheap' drone. It's a LS800 Pro 2. The gps reception is not very good, but bearing in mind I live in Turkey, surrounded by mountains is not surprising. Sometimes I can use up the drone battery just trying to get enough satellites to start the motors. When checking satellites on my phone it can see more than enough for flying. So I thought all i need to do is buy a bigger antenna and job done. So I have this nice big 25mm 32db gain ant' that just plugs in with a mini coax connector. How hard can it be? After a cursory look at my drone it appears not so simple. The ant' appears to be par of a pcb and not just a plug in. Any ideas that might help. Thanks in advance.
