Anyone point me in the direction of how you can mod the deeper chirp to extend the range?

Thanks

Not modding the Chirp itself but buying a Fisheye range extender. I've measured it at just over 200 yards through curiosity and was getting perfect signal without dropping out at all even when I turned the boat away from me. Tad pricey but it works so I don't mind.

Here you go

Have a look on Amazon for a VONETS VAP11S - same used by ND claimed upto 200yds (I think) boosted range. Pretty easy to setup via their onboard wizard. Just find some old router box, add some antennas on the outside plus a battery and you're sorted

If you're having trouble setting it up, just ping us a P.M and I'll be glad to help, or here's a YouTube vid... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTgHTbkg67g

Edited to add correct Vonets model

Rough and ready but does the job...

Is it the Vonets VAP11AC or the VAP11S?

The VAP11AC does not seem to have antennas?

It's the VAP11S one that you want. Apologies for putting the wrong one up. Now corrected

This one comes recommended . . .

Wi fi Range extender

The mk2 has power (than you can link to your tablet / phone whilst using) . . the cheaper smaller variant requires power (external pack etc)

Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
