Great idea, Alan.

When Weatronics introduced me to patches ( about which I knew nothing) I tried flying a Gizmo receiver with one patch and one normal whip for comparisons. With the gps I was able to make comparisons at comparable ranges and orientation.
The already good numbers with the monopole were significantly better with the patch, so all four of my Gizmo models use dual patches. The hemispherical tx and rx patterns seem to work very well indeed and the occasional loss of downlink was almost eliminated.

I am now testing Core so perhaps you could give us some comparison numbers as you can, as you have shown, display LQI and db numbers on the home screen.

For those unaware, the RF section of the Core is as developed by Weatronic, which after over 1000 turbine flights with Wea, which each one checked on Navview I found the link, proven by recorded data, rock solid.

PS The cables you made for my Weatronic modules, still in place, perfect !

The Core is now certified by the FCC so US deliveries can begin.
