Hi All,

Out flying today I had an almost constant warning of strong interference. This surprised me because if you look at the attached, I was on the shores of Lake Michigan with almost nothing around causing interference and VERY clear LOS to my bird. I also had a GPS loss at one point when the drone was 20 ft from me and it went into immediate A-mode, this surprised me because reviewing the log I had 13 satellites prior to this.

Tips?

Equipment: P3S with ARGtek Extender.

Interesting point... the other thing about the great lakes is the unpredictable wind around it... my anemometer showed a peak of 10mph whereas HealthyDrones reported 18 mph sustained and 30 mph gusts.... the P3S handled it surprisingly well though
