Updated ST16 with Typhoon H Pro - 3rd Antenna
- Thread starter RBC
- Start date
Thanks for the wizdumb grandpa.
Don't feel bad for me, I got my Typhoon H for only $1000 with the wizard and extra battery included. (enjoy your $1800 drone)
There are 4 antennas altogether, all hooked up and working. But only 2 are mounted externally. Obviously, the internal ones are not going to get as good of reception as the external ones, hence the mod to mount them externally. These guys are going for maximum range. Notice they wouldn't say how far they actually got out in the desert.

I think you're missing the point. There are 4 antennas altogether, all hooked up and working. But only 2 are mounted externally.

I deleted my post before you even responded. So please remove my quote since I am taking my ball back and going home. i
iSeriously I understand and that is why I deleted it. I don't think it will add that much over a 3rd party option.

I don't think you're really gaining anything from having two of the same type of antennas on the new ST16. The whole point of having diversity is so you can use two different antennas. One for close in (omni) and one for long range (directional). The only gain I see here is that they appear to be 5dBi antennas instead of the 3dBi ones.
It's the same controller. They have simple relocated the internal antenna to the outside.This is the 3rd antenna I am talking about. This is from Yuneec's website.

I'm guessing you just fell on your keyboard and the txt above came out by accident. You're forgiven.
Because I know you read my post and must have clearly observed that I was counting and talking about the external antennas.
i Dont like this, i didnt expect the ST16 will have a different version, i thought is only add on module for real senses as the differentiator between advanced and pro version.
Yuneec team i guess you hurting your customers i have issue on my ST 16 problem with intermittent signal loss/ bad signal reception, sd card port not working, android hang frequently, now what should i do?
Be happy with what you bought. If you keep waiting for the latest and greatest you would never own anything.
i kind of agree . i spoke with yuneec before purchase and asked if i would be able to upgrade my H when it came out and they stated yes.
they never mentioned if i wanted pro features i should wait on the pro .
i feel like just doing a chargeback on my credit card for false advertising .
i know many will disagree . but i feel that we was mislead to believe we could upgrade to the pro .
very frustrating at the least .
It has came out and is available for preorder but only as the entire kit .
so it was deceptive information . its not available as a upgrade ...
Still not following. Trying to find some concrete info. Someone said the realsense was going to be 375 and the IPS would be 75, but I haven't seen a price on the ST16+. Are you saying the prices were wrong and nothing will be available separately? Nothing is listed yet, it had also been said the separate components would not be available until after the pro starts shipping.
