Hows this for windy conditions. We have been "stuck indoors" for around 14 hours and I would love to go out to fly the Phantom. It's just a bit windy. Gusts up to 164Kph! And we are not in the worst of it. The storm has a few more hours to go before it weakens.. To all those copping the...

Matt, I liked your idea with the pro antennas. Have been reading your threads with interest. They are about $50 here in Au. Those listed on 3bay US the freight kills us.

I have never read anything on the forum about the ceramic patch antennas, especially what orientation they are. Considering household wifi is our main enemy with interference and mostly vertical polarised you would think if you positioned them horizontally interference would be reduced. Some...

Dan I am getting good 2.4 range and video now, just running out of distance on the 5.8 now.. May also look at some sort of booster.

I'm not sure on the 5Ghz side as I have no way of testing output. I have noticed while playing with the regulatory domain settings that at different locations, US, BO, GB, NZ, AU, LV, CA etc, the 5.8ghz channels change and the max output reported changes between 17db, 20db & 21db. Also some...

That's great Dan. Hoping the weather here improves over the weekend so I can try a few different settings.

That is great news Dan. I have only had time to do a quick flight to get a baseline. I had not tried any distance runs other than to see how far the AC would go. (it wasn't far). My base test I went out to 1200 metres (17db) and logged the ping times. I was hoping extending the ACK timeout...

Tommi If you read post 1 you should be ok. If I open the Go App and it advises I have to update, I simply close the app then edit the list.json file, then delete the asdklog_s file. Then open Go App again. if it still tells you that you have to upgrade, simply close and reopen. Most of the...

Thanks for the link Dan. Most of the info I can find is for fixed links and the distance is known. Our wifi link uses AirOs and the setup allows for auto adjust of the distance. This is an extract of the info on the setting. I am of the opinion that using signal strength alone will not show...

Dan, Wow, a heap of questions.. That is good. These are my thoughts regarding your comments. You could but I think the section you refer to needs attention to get it to work better. It is also part of PapaTita's program and I think it is his choice if he wants to change/modify it. I had...

I was bored and thought I would do some poking around in the RC. Found the default for wifi distance calcs on mine are disabled. Coverage class: 0 (up to 0m) I made a comment in another thread on why Magic Power works in FCC areas due to the ack packet timeouts and remembered there was a...

Paul, it runs as a shell script on the RC & AC. Basically it monitors the output of iwinfo and if the system resets the output power to anything other than what you have requested it will swap it back. Doesn't matter how many times the system swaps it. Once it detects the change it will swap it...

The Genuine set I ordered from gm5argtek in Taiwan arrived in Oz 7 days after the order was placed. Very fast! Everything looked great. 1/2hr and they were installed and ready to use. Can't wait to try them out on the weekend. I am going to try the non directional antennas first. There is a...

Make sure if you use a relay, get one with a diode built in to prevent high voltage spike getting back to drone electronics. More than likely the leds in the Phantom are negative triggered.

Nelson I ordered one from gm5argtak yesterday where you got yours from and he has already posted it. Even provided a tracking number. The items he was selling on Ebay looked like genuine kits not copies. I was going to ask you to put a link up when you tried the argtek on the P3S but just found...
