Thanks for the great response Bad Daddy (and great name too). When tested in the above fashion, the synthesized module glitches at approximately 75 yards, and standard modules (tested with the antenna completely collapsed) glitch at approximately 60 yards in a very rural area with a direct line of sight and the plane on the ground at least 10 yards from any source of interference (truck, flightbox, other transmitters, etc.).

Thanks again,
Michael
