ST16+ antenna?

[Warlocc]

Long time reader, first time poster, just got a quick question as I'm thinking of tinkering with the antenna on my ST16+.

I'm curious. It has a 5Ghz and two 2.4Ghz antenna. The 5 is for wifi, right?

What are the other two for, specifically? That's the controls, but do they both transmit/recieve, or what?

Or does the left one do something different than the right one?

2.4 is the primary control link and shares telemetry functions. They transmit and receive in combination, not independently. The aircraft also has two 2.4 antennas as a means to assure a continuous C2 link.

Perfect. Thanks.
