Hello everyone, its the novice again, can anyone give me any approx distances of operating range of various transmitter/ receivers on 2.4ghz.i.e. 200 metre +. Thanks
-
the range of a 2.4Ghz Transmitter / receiver is just about the same as any other form of Transmitter / receiver in the 35Mhz or 40Mhz range which would be about a mile, give or take a few yards
-
Usually line of sight as a good guide.

Many thanks, Colin and Bob for advice, Tony

Never used 2.4 only 27 mhz.. On the 27mhz we would have problems with large metal buildings / RV / large cars on reflection of signal depending on the distance.
Any problems with the 2.4 on reflection...

At the goole club some of the lads had problems with the 27mhz and 40mhz radio gear , where they lost signal .
We put it down to the accumilator (a giant piston/cylinder about 60ft tall by about 20ft wide) been made of steel .
Any ways most if them have turned over to 2.4ghz and not had a problem, sorted :-)) .

Thanks for the information. It's been since 1985 since my last boat... and had mega problems with large metal objects... the closer the metal....the worst it was.. aluminum boats for recovery were taken out of the water do to interference.

Hai friends..i am willing to post my experience here.i was using my r/c s ranges from 18 MHz, to 79 MHz.most of the r/c systems i use are home made, using RX and TX ICs.most of the toy r/c s based around 27 MHz to 49 MHz. so whatever may be the frequency i always add a 5 meter wire in between two coconut trees with an insulator at each end.so it ill give me a range about 1.4 Km from 27 to 49 MHz.for airplanes i use a steel wire lengths over 3 meters on a wooden reaper pole,with vertical polarisation.but i always get enough range with Ghz transmiters.if you want to increase the reception range of your receiver you can simply add a reception booster at the tip of your receiver antenna.its so simple can make on a plastic card, with one transistor, and a tuning circuit, mostly based on C1815, or C 945 transistor.so it will grab any week frequencies passes nearby..cool..
