# Start with Range extender

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/E3AgGSFv2fI>" %}
This video will explain all the good practices and limitation of the Range extender.
{% endembed %}

In environments such as underground galleries, stacks, or mines, signal propagation can be limited by
&#x20;the geometry of the place to inspect, and remotely operating a robot becomes difficult. By placing the
&#x20;remote controller antennas in a better location, closer to the drone, it is possible to extend the range of
&#x20;the drone. The Range Extender is an optional accessory that connects to Elios 3 ground control station,
&#x20;providing an extended signal reach for beyond line-of-sight operation.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.flyability.com/getting-started/start-with-payloads-and-accessories/start-with-range-extender.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
