Opinion does not mean knowledge of a subject .
2.4 systems for model use are simply 'black magic " for many.
why the widely spaced satellite rx present a much better chance of getting solid info which may otherwise blocked, is not a difficult concept to understand - but some simply don't grasp the concept .
The range capability of a 2.4 is one thing
The ability to insure the signal is not blocked - yet another .
I use on board logging to read what each antenna sees - and contrary to what some may "think" , positioning of the reception points makes a big difference -is some models - in most sport stuff - it may be of little issue .
Battery requirements are still black magic to many as are regulators and BECS.
reading the opinions as to why models crash makes this quite obvious.
battery "tests" and BEC tests seen here -are for the most part ,tests which prove -nothing- and make it appear that failure MUST be a receiver issue .
Seen this over and over and don't expect to see the basic problem change
The basic problem - the user simply does not understand proper use of all the inter related parts of the radio systems
You don't need a background in electronics but if you want to avoid problems , spend sometime finding out the problems which can occur if the system is used incorrectly.
