Try building a RF antenna for a cheap RF pair...

Tricky Nekro

Hello to everyone,

Unfortunately I had to buy a cheap RF pair cause of lack of pocket money and now I face promblems with the communications...
I need to built a antenna for stabilizing the communication and amplify the signal so to have an about 500m Radius of control...
When I test the module I had problems with text and long numbers...
The modules are rr2 - 413.92 and rt4 - 413.92...
I powered the circuit from a cheap wall transformer and both BS2 had same ground... Is this a negative factor...
What can I do???


Thanks for your time,
Provas, Greece


PS. Sorry for my English

If you need control in a fixed direction consider building a Yagi antenna. For omni directional use you might consider a vertical antenna with a good ground plane. You might need a vertical longer than a quarter wave length to achieve some gain to your power output.

Look at amateur radio manuals for more information.

Thanks for the reply...

Unfortunately I didn't find much... most datasheets would need to payed to be delivered...· And Yagi antennas are way too big for me too use in one 1 x 0.5cm transmitter... Any ideas on how I can ground my antenna, please... Is a amplifier needed? And how sizes are culculated...

Thanks in advance...
