Hi all really getting to grips with my new p3s now I'm from the UK I can send the drone up to 400feet the UK limit but when I go forward I lose signal at around 1000ft 300m ish I am using a parabolic mirror and live on a estate where it's just bungalows I still have a good line of sight but it just won't give me anymore any thoughts on this people? thanks all

Here are the usual things to check when you have connection issues:

• Make sure the remote controller antenna is positioned like this
• Make sure there are no obstacles between the remote controller and Phantom
• Enable airplane mode on your mobile device (and just enable Wi-Fi)
  
• Keep all other electronic devices away from the remote controller
• Try flying in a location where you know there is no nearby Wi-Fi to rule out the flying location as the cause of the problem

I think because I live on a estate regardless of bungalows there must be plenty of Wi-Fi signals coming from broadband also smart meters etc....will have to go out to the countryside and try it...
would one of those booster mods help ?

Any reputable antenna booster should help. How much? All environments are different, so you'll have to try them to see how well they work.
