does the dx5e have the same output power as dx6i? reg: range boost.
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.

Hi,
Yes, the power output level is the same for the DX5e and DX6i transmitters. Only the Spektrum receivers are designated Parkflyer or full range.
I have all the Spektrum transmitters and a JR 9503 transmitter.
You can read more [link=http://spektrumrc.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdId=SPM5510]here[/link].
Good luck!
