Foil Drive External Antenna

Foil Drive is happy to announce the Foil Drive External Antenna is now available…

SPECIFICATIONS

The Foil Drive External Antenna is a secondary passive antenna that increases the signal strength of the Gen2 unit by-passing the board. With increased below water connectivity, it also provides uninterrupted signal when the antenna pad is above water. The antenna is totally passive and does not require any power or external connection to the Gen2 unit and is available in two lengths (130cm and 180cm). The Patent Pending signal attenuation technology has been developed alongside a highly specialist team of international engineers that create wireless communications systems for nuclear power plant operations! This is not just a piece of wire and a standard antenna off the shelf!

WHO IS IT FOR?

This accessory is primarily designed for use with boards that feature full carbon foil tracks laminated into a full carbon board. The standard built-in antenna within the Foil Drive Gen2 is perfect for most applications, however carbon tracks and some carbon layups do increase the difficulty of the signal transmitting through the board reliably. We ask you watch the How To Improve Controller Signal Connectivity Masterclass video on our YouTube first before deciding if you need an External Antenna for your setup!
