magic power thoughts.... balanced power for both 2.4 and 5.8

[Dazzauk]

I have just had a thought, would increasing the 2.4ghz signal from amgic power possibly reduce the power to the 5.8?

I highly doubt it. Even though I'm in the USA, home of the 27dbm default. I tried MP. I didn't see any negative effects by installing it.

*waits for someone to argue about the default.

Phantom 3 Pro - I'm absolutely loving it. The range is insane and I don't have to aim the remote. I did a spin around my entire neighborhood and signal never even flinched.

It is theoretically possible that a stronger 2.4GHz signal can cause interference to a 5.8GHz signal, especially if the power stage is overdriven and generating harmonics (in case some of the power stage components are outside or their tolerance). Especially considering that the antennae are so close together. Not "likely", mind you, but possible

I guess I'm gonna have to go test same spot with magic power now off. See if I can beat 4000ft.

So so strange that before I was getting 6000 ft.

But you would get the same range with the advanced also?? Is that right? Or has the pro got better range than the advanced?

No VAT in the USA, plus the currency exchange is more favorable. That's for a refurb model, btw

think someone should post me one to the uk

 

[robca]

In that case you'd pay VAT plus import duties including shipping costs (I used to live in London)

Your best bet would be to have a friend traveling from the USA bring one as a personal item

Or send as a birthday gift to your "nephew" and avoid some of those fees. (wink wink)

On the Traxxas forums a guy lived in the Netherlands. He used to get "birthday gifts" from Uncle Matt once a month. LOL

Unfortunately that $579 deal ended yesterday. I'm sure that there will be more deals soon.
