[Skippy[M]]

Hello!

Got a Phantom 3 Standard. I want to change mode. From CE to FCC. How to do it?

This is no longer user adjustable. It is determined by your global location as determined by the aircraft's GPS coordinates.
Look into the numerous methods to improve range from Windsurfers to directional antennas and/or amplifiers. However the latter requires a license to operate legally in the US.

Oh I see. I live in sweden so I will not be able to change to FCC mode??

I would imagine the difference in in hardware. One is built with less transmission power and certified under CE. The other has hardware that allows more signal strength to be transmitted and is certified FCC.

Just my guess.

Correct.
(Unless someone hacks the code in the future but that is just for conversations sake.)

Folks have been trying for just about two years now to override this and other software imposed limitations with no luck. No reason to believe it will change anytime soon.

These radio parameters and adjustments are easily achieved with software.

Your cellphone does it many, many, times per second.

I do hear rumors about attempts to hack drone transmissions so that may be a concern and even to the point of modified ranges I suppose.

Funny I remember the CB days when many were attempting to boost wattage.

I've heard that the mode changes depending on your location so if you took your drone to an FCC country it would automatically change to FCC and vice versa

That is a fact.
