7. Notes
- Ensure antennas are properly installed and not blocked by carbon or metal structures.
- For best signal, keep both antennas at 90° orientation from each other.
- Use a clean, stable 5 V power supply to avoid signal interference.
- Do not flash R24-D with non-diversity firmware (R24-S version).
- Firmware and documentation available on the official ExpressLRS GitHub.
