Satellite Count

[dirkclod]

What are you Guy's/Gal's getting on average once your up ?
I average around 14 .

 

[P.Lindblom]

I seem to average 11-12.

 

[Timritchieblue]

I get 12-14 stock, but will be installing the DBS antenna soon.

Average 7 best 11. That's New Zealand though, we only just got electricity and running water so satellites are rare and worshiped by the Natives.

That shouldn't affect your sat count Tim.
Mine has been running like I said and wondered if all were about the same .
My P2's would average 12 to 14 and maybe 15 at the right time But I did have a booster under the puck .
When I pop this shell I'm gonna see if it has the same antenna as the P2's and if so I have a 4mm one I 'm
gonna try with a booster just to see if we can get more .
Not had any issue's with this one but would like to see just if we can get more .
That 4mm antenna sure helped a lot of the P2's as well as the booster or foil mods .
Might not do squat

 

[Timritchieblue]

thanks, I didn't know if it would or not. My friend was getting 10-12, but only 600ft, and it would RTH. (Signal loss) he returned it, bought the PRO, now gets 25-28..

got the internal cables, just waiting on the blue ones. Finally got to fly today, had a good flight.

Different system for the sats with that . Glonas (spelling bad ) They get lots and hope we can get more too and will see .
I've been flying with a lot less than 14 though for awhile with the P2's
The cables sure helped my distance and hope it does yours too Tim

Always 16-18 around here.

You have the pro though don't you ?

 

[snerd]

You have the pro though don't you ?

Yes. Sorry, I didn't notice this was in the Standard forum. I was wondering why your counts were so low!!

 

[dirkclod]

Yes. Sorry, I didn't notice this was in the Standard forum.

No need to be sorry snerd . Just thought you did . I'm just trying to maybe milk somemore from this one . Wish they got as many as the P/A's did.

 

[ryback]

I got 12-14 most of the times, sometimes though I got 7-9 but frankly I don't see much difference in the flight experience...

 

[dirkclod]

As long as you have 7 you shouldn't .

 

[mikep2323]

I just got mine last week and flew a few times and only had 7 to 9 . I do live in a wooded area so not sure if that is why.

It would cut them down if there's a lot of foliage .

 

[SteveMann]

It takes me three or four minutes to get six. Once airborne I'll see 7 to 9. Rarely more than that.

 

[TG3S]

I usually get 7 to 11.. Don't k know if it's a coincidence, but after switching to the external FPV antennas, I've been able to get a couple more satellites more..

 

[dirkclod]

That's strange TG and never noticed that with my P2 before .
Didn't know ya has a Standard Steve .

GPS Interference Testing – DIY Drones

 

[RodPad]

I looked at my Healthy Drones logs for October. 10-15 Satellites never any better than rating of good.
