[Remix2020]

Hey everyone, I recently purchased a typhoon H! (First legitimate drone I've owned) the packaging contained an extra antenna..I am curious what it is for..it was on listed on the "kit list" see photos below

This just found! So, the mushroom antenna is better than the flat one? Is the flat antenna needed when using the wizard?

You can use the round one or the square one. Most people prefer the square one because you will get a better video signal. Be sure to keep this antenna facing the H while flying.

The flat one is a directional (point directly at the H)
The mushroom is omnidirectional (point it in any direction)
The flat one is for distance.
Mushroom for close work.
I think this picture might be helpful.
The mushroom is equivalent to the 3dbi, the flat to the 6dbi, and a DBS Antenna to the 9dbi.


This is my understanding. I'm happy to be ED U Cated by those with more knowledge

The patch antenna gives me a range of 2.2 KM and the mushroom does about half that. That is with the European firmware. The patch does'n't always have to be pointed exactly at the Typhoon H it has quite a large reception area, about a 60 degree angle. I actually never use the mushroom, the patch gives me good reception all around at close range but when I want to go further I just have to point it at the craft.
Hope this is helpfull.
