It would give you the ability to change Wi-Fi channels that you currently don't have on the Standard. And I believe with this app you can go up to 30 dbm, which is quite high. Which is higher than FCC mode.
While I'm leery of boosting the transmitter power (noisy signal and stress on the components), getting the extra WiFi channels in the US would move your usage slightly outside the range of most home WiFi networks. They overlap channels 8 through 11, but you get some bandwidth space.
Thanks Nigel. I don't doubt it works.

Channels 12 & 13 are allowed in the US, but only for low power usage. These two channels overlap with channel 14, which is forbidden to use in the US. I don't know what uses channel 14, but some people think it's used for military communications.
Channels 12 & 13 would probably be safe to use out in the woods, but I wouldn't want test them near anything military.
I guess 13 would be safe to use on my farm out in the country but I question the value in that environment with very little other wifi signal around.While I'm leery of boosting the transmitter power (noisy signal and stress on the components), getting the extra WiFi channels in the US would move your usage slightly outside the range of most home WiFi networks.

Yes agree, that's the route I took. Doing hardware mods over the software ones. I did try Icarus once, but that was back in their beginning and it still had a few bugs to work out. I have a DBS on the RC, upgraded antenna on the AC, and also amps powering the DBS. Max to date, 4559 meters.
I understand the need for Nigel and the CE folks to use software just don't think we need it.
Close in flying is not an issue, it's the far out flying that can be a pain. Because close in even if your a bit off, the signal is still strong. But when your out at a long distance and the signal is just holding on, then you move the wrong way and you might just lost the signal. If the Go app would point me in the right direction, always seems to be off up to 35° to one side. It would be so simple to be right on the money. I'm talking about the line on the app that goes between you and the drone. If you keep the map unlocked in theory that line should be vertical on your device when facing the drone. Mine is always off to one side, pain. I've done a compass cal on the device and it does point North using a compass app, so it has something to do with the Go app and my device not being on the same page.
