Thanks to the person that recommended turning on the hidden files to finally do this mod. I never needed to with my other birds because I am not looking for range like some of you are. I just need a good solid 400 meters and I am perfectly happy and that was never an issue until my 2nd P4 (first one oddly is fine as you all know by now I'm sure).
So the "mod" worked now that I could see the file and I got about a half mile before I decided to return it home. I went a little more than a half mile without a hiccup (before I couldn't go 40 feet using the iPad without a hiccup) and like 16-20 sats or so and full bars and never dropped a bar. I am interested to see how far it will go now. I took the liberty of going to the higher channels (I put it on 31) where I saw absolutely zero anything.
As to the legality of using that channel, considering I have a General HAM license now, I will do a little research but the difference is undeniable.
Of course my gimbal is locking for some reason and I have to calibrate every single time to get a decent horizon but hey baby steps! Very pleased about this.
By the way, yesterday while flying for a minute in Sport mode, not even full speed, my gimbal got stuck and said "Gimbal Lock". Why? Never had that one before.
Fun fact: the reason I named my bird "Glenn" is because it was the manager at the Apple Store who was being ULTRA ridiculously cool as we tried to get me a working bird. I was at the store when I activated it and he was touched by my gesture.
So 703m without a hiccup, 20 sats and full bars. I feel like I could have kept going and look at the neighborhood, houses and lines everywhere so i would imagine up in the open, I might now be able to get the range that is advertised but I am happy to just have this. I NEVER need to go far but what I was getting before wasn't NOT far, it was nowhere. I don't want to get too excited as this was just one flight, but we shall see I suppose.
