I am planning a quick medium range fpv setup and came across a cost effective means to medium to long range FPV.

well my question to you all firstly is: does the spektrum dx5e have the same power output as the modules inside of the dx6i transmitter?

I ask this because if this is true then a cost effective way to increase range is to simply use a booster to the antenna output port in the SMA output inside of the radio and use an 8 to 11 dbi patch antenna. depending on the type of beam length which is desired keeping in mind i will probably go with 8dbi for more area coverage. This would be perfect for me since I FPV without the extra channel on the dx6i and dont need the expo since I am using a glider and not 3d.

so does anyone know? if the module/modem unit inside of the dx5e is the same as the dx6i in terms of output power? I also say this is because they advertise that dx5e is a FULL RANGE TX just like their other models of radio transmitter.

thank you for your time and help in advance.
