This is the one I bought from. I remember it on eBay because they show 2 in the picture but only ship 1 so you have to order multiple...
Great seeing this.. I have my own FGR4 receiver with one Flysky long antenna and the stock antenna installed, and both Noble NB4 and the receiver firmware updated. I tested it out yesterday on a 1200ft road and it did the whole length with no lost signal notifications. In the next few days I'll take it to a longer road, around 2,000ft and do a one way run and see what I get. I also plan to run the radiolink V2 that comes with the dual antenna receiver, The RC7 I think its called, and see how that compares. 1200ft of range one way is enough for me really, I don't need more but I would feel better knowing I could go as far as 1400 or 1500ftFollow up to my 2 600mm antenna install.
Tested at 1700 ft. I believe the car was still in range but I couldn't see it anymore
It’s in the sensor menu. Then click, “choose sensors”. Then click, “signal strength”. My low RSSI alarm is off. My low signal is 25. I’ll probably turn it down more.
Excellent video ! Guess i won't be needing the booster I bought last year . Glad I didn't open up my NB4 to add the booster.Follow up to my 2 600mm antenna install.

I am curious too.
Buy another NB4, remove antenna, and send the rest to me for scientific testing.
Well it didn't go so well. Crashed before I did the official range test. For some reason I "seemed" to be losing signal around 1200-1300ft. I can't verify this. The only thing that was different was I was using rare earth magnets to keep the sides of the body from flapping. Magnets won't interfere with RF directly, which is why I tried that. RF emits photons and magnets work off of electrons, so RF doesn't have charged particles like a magnet. Now where I think I went wrong is one of the magnets was maybe 2" away from an antenna. An antenna can definitely have charged particles. I ripped the magnets off when I got home and will just use tape like most everyone else. Ordered some Gone Bananas, CF endplates for the wing, and a couple other small parts to get her back on the road. Thankfully the body is still usuable, albeit with a little road rash.
No booster? Also, did you get the “signal lost” warning but kept going? If so about how far did you keep going? Just trying to get everyone’s input on that signal lost thing so I can figure something out.
No booster installed, only added the second antenna on the FGR4, and both the transmitter and receiver updated. Towards the end of the road the Noble NB4 did give me the out of range message, but I kept going and it kept responding, I still had full control. The first time I heard that message it made me nervous
Ok thanks. That seems to be the consensus with everyone. The only reason the Tx is saying that is because it’s receiving what the Rx is outputting. I’m contemplating re-binding in one-way mode. SUPPOSEDLY the latency goes down, but that’s gonna be a hard test since as you know, it’s damn hard to see at those distances.
You are not the first to find the second port not working. It does raise some selfdoubt here, so i tried you're method of the booster transmittion light.
Newest version. Same as you. 2.0.100.
that's the firmware version, two lines lower it says the hardware version
