The BANDICOOT antenna is a small linear receiving patch that is designed to work with the linear whip antenna’s found on the Tiny Whoop and Micro Drones.
If you are using a linear whip antenna on your micro quad and using a circular antenna to receive you would be experiencing a 3 db loss due to the mixed polarisation signals, for each 3db drop in signal that is a half in power so effectively your 25 mW vtx will only be seen as transmitting 12.5 mW.
For increased range, clarity and to get your 3db back use the Menace Bandicoot.
