Remove all antennas, the hot glue at the plug connections are a bit fiddly to remove. This needs to be done with care:)

The flat antennas right and left are hot glued and glued so extra care must be taken when removing them. I cut it and wiggled it from side to side:)

Buddy here did something similar to their Yuneec Q500+ transmitter. Has a pair of patch antennas in it that covers Wifi and transmitter control signals. Improved the range on the wifi video uplink, but still had issues with trees.Re: DJI PHANTOM 3 STANDARD ANTENNA MOD:)

There are various mods for the antenna available. I think you always need line of sight to get a good signal:)
