▋▋2.4GHz▋Antenna▋Considerations
2.4GHz band radio waves have strong directionality so receiving sensitivity diers greatly depending on the
direction of antenna orientation.
If the antenna is attached directly to a shielding material such as carbon or metal, the receiving sensitivity of
the antenna is considerably reduced.
Multi Coaxial Antenna type receiver (more than one coaxial antenna extending from the receiver)
Be sure to install the antenna’s at right angles to each other, rather than parallel.
Single Coaxial Antenna type receiver
Avoid placing the antenna along a carbon fuselage, or surrounded by metal materials.
▋▋Remote▋Antenna▋installation
The remote Antenna RA01T receives data from the transmitter, and also feeds telemetry data back to the
Transmitter so it is highly recommended to locate the Remote Antenna away from the main Receiver unit, ESC,
Regulator, Servos, Gyro Sensors, harness or Power cables, etc to avoid interference.

Due to the 2.4GHz band which has a strong directionality in
its radio waves, the receiving sensitivity will greatly differ
depending on the direction against the antenna. Since the
antenna receives radio waves from the sides rather than
from the tip, please take adequate care of the antenna
direction when installing the antenna in the model.
The built-in antenna of the remote antenna is
installed on the surface of the circuit board.
Care will be required in the situation where the
built-in antenna has been installed beside a
shielding material, since the receiving
sensitivity will be considerably degraded.
* The remote antenna receives the data and also
feeds back to the transmitter.
The antenna part should be installed
in a perfectly straight condition.
Coaxial part of the antenna can
be bent however, do not bend it
in a right angle. This will damage
the internal antenna wires.
If each antenna is installed in parallel, the receiving
efficiency will be reduced.
