UPDATE/ Got to try the new shorter cables out just now and went from 7'499.9' to 8'818.5'Let me say this Dave. In the long thread on this panel since DBS came out with it and did follow it and this is my second one I have never heard of a bad panel till this Standard section started .Not saying their not sending out some bad ones now just that I have never heard of any till now .
Same with bad TX's .
I'm seeing stuff in here I have never seen reported before . DJI must have really got slack with all these reports of bad units .
As far as the tightening of those connecters it was a surprise to me as I wasn't having any issues when I read about that but did start using a wrench and was surprised how much more they would tighten . I really think it was DBS that said to do that but not sure now .
The only way to mess up doing the mod is if you mess up with the 3 connecter's unless you just are rough and pull something else loose in the TX .
I did not like the less insulated cables and did replace them as soon as I could get some in . I mean look at them View attachment 34330 Is easy to tell which will contain more signal and felt the same way about the external long ones . Their to long in my opinion so I have changed that to see
if that would give me more distance to these View attachment 34331 .Now I just got these on yesterday and like you at the moment and have webs growing between my toes because of the rain and can't get out to see if they have helped any or not .I did sneak 1 flight in but only for 1100' before I came back but was strong the whole way but the other's where too at that distance .
Why DBS has chimed in here I don't know but gonna pester him till he does to tell us what he thinks might be going on .
As far as losing control of you bird if ether do fail ....TX or Antenna ... I **** sure hope the bird would do as it's suppose to do and go into RTH and do that .
All this is just IMO and has came from messing with these for over a year . This Standard is totally different and sure at some point we will work all this out .
I have done all I can to this TX I can and am now about to see just what can be done to the bird itself .We are trying to make this into something it's not . Is why I got it instead of an Adv . I do like my screwdriver
Before it's over I might be liking my hammer
Same path and conditions were the same . Was a little lower this time .1318.6' more.Now I can't say for 100% I got that by using those shorter cables because everyday is different but there's what I got .
Oh yea..being I went over that golf course I stopped about half way back and got me a 360 of 18 holes of golf
BaHahaaaaaaaaaaaaa
