Yeah would be great to get an update, your last post seems to indicate it should be possible. Just a greater understanding of the code needed.

I though about this and... radio have no GPS:
Location data can be taken from:
1) a drone, and transmitted into a radio, but 'what if' GPS will not work or we just do not turn on a drone. Maybe 'last known' is used.
2) from a tablet - from a localisation menu or from GPS (not every tablet have gps and gps location can be posored in dev options)
3) set in factory. dead end. soldering iron or screw driver.

Would be good to see someone work this out. The CE may still get the 2k range but you would think the Fcc mode wile probably still go further plus have more penetration though things like trees.

And what if you move or have a contract in US? Buy FCC version to have a better range?

It's the same version. It'll auto choose CE or FCC based on the GPS location.

This is not a big deal.
Specs from DJI say:
Max Distance
Up to 5 km or 3.1 miles (unobstructed, free of interference) when FCC compliant
Up to 3.5 km or 2.1 miles (unobstructed, free of interference) when CE compliant
There are plenty of European owners flying great distances. You'll easily get more than 2k range.

3000m is not a problem in CE mode without any hack mate.
My friend video:
4km, CE mode, no mods, full signal.
Not good you would not to share with a community with Your discover, however it is Your saint law and choice.
We still need to digging. I have hope if someone discover how to workaround it will show a solution to others, even anonynomously.

Why would you start a thread asking for information about FCC and CE then when you work something out keep it quiet

Why would u not share your hack if you don't bare any responsibility buddy? Technically one could do the hack and not fly the bird then no local regulation or law is broken. If one decides to mod something that is his property and as long as he is not harming others (if the bird is grounded) there is not issue. If the range is increased or not it makes no difference as the full potential range of P3A/Ps is 1.2 miles and now more according to the new spec any way. Even if the range was 100 miles there is no law broken as long as u fly LoS.Hello,
i managed to do it and even go further than FCC mode. My Phantom 3 has flow quite far, only started to drop signal after more than 4000 m distance, and lost it after 5500-6000 m.
Due to this hack i managed to sell my drone as "exclusive" for quite more than what i paid it. I liked my drone, but was so disapointed with shell quality even after installing new improved shell that i decided to sell it.
Due to possible legal problems, DJI lawsuit or someone dropping the bird to someones head in such long distance flights im not sharing how i did it or doing it to anyone. I also gave a promise to my buyer he is the only one in possesion of such drone!
The solution is actually pretty easy after you find it, just need to dig quite deep!
I have one picture from demo to buyer, here it is at 3000 m, full all signals. The drone was controlled from forest where i live over the hills and far away from any line of sight like all my flights, i guess if would not be lower than City in forest, and had LOS the drone would go 10 000 m in one way (no power for back), did not have time to test it

Can you at least give us some hints so we can work backwards and reverse engineer what u achieved? Unless it is just a claim.

It's a shame you won't share. Which is your choice, though is no more dodgy than the 32 channel hack which has been around for ages with zero repercussions, or any of the shops selling boosters, which have been around since the first Phantom was released.
Can you let us know if you were on the right path with this post?

Switch to FCC is not a more range, but more safety. Signal would be more stable, and this is only one reason to solve this problem. This could prevent fly away, drone loss or air accident.
Lets go to work guys! If i find something i will share with You.
