How Many ..... .

Can I ask what your satellite reception is like (UK - NI) P3S ? I seem to be getting a max of 8 or 9 satellites only and they seem to take an age to register. This doesn’t matter where I seem to be the count is a max of 9 but usually hovering between 7 and 8. My MP picks up about 17 satellites. What should be the normal for P3S ?

Hello, I don't know, but I would change your title to something like "Number of Satellites with a P3S, in the UK?"

Your mavic is picking up US GPS satellites.
The Mavic is receiving US GPS sats plus Russian Glonass sats as well.
The numbers you mention are normal.

Thanks Meta4. I knew the MP would always get more but took a brain blockage as to why the P3S had so few. I am again at ease .... [emoji106]

Glonass rocks. I get around 6 sats inside. Usually once 10 meters altitude is gained outside I’ll be locked to 17-19 sats. P3A

P3S just across the water from you near Wales - your satt count is normal but mine doesn't take very long to find them. I usually launch then climb to 20m and hover to get the last couple of satt locks.
