In addition to the two big ol' blades that plug into the Phantom battery, there are also two contact plates so that, I assume, the CPU on the quad can talk to the battery via a serial communication protocol: Has anyone heard of someone tapping into that to see what language the battery...

Nope, they didn't seem to care at all! I started low over the water maybe 10' up just to gauge their reaction and they just seemed to lazily swim out from directly beneath, but other than that it was business as usual. A flick of seagulls flew around it as well as I hovered. I'm hoping I got...

This morning I was flying over a pond at a local park. I was the only one there when I started and there were maybe a half dozen people feeding the ducks off to the side of me by the time I left. I was 15 minutes into my flight or so when I hear someone yelling "keep moving/flying...

Yep, sending it back to Amazon, will get a new one. I originally had the 32-channel but read several threads with people claiming that the 7-channel had better reception with the 600mw Immersion transmitter.

Amazon will exchange it for free if I mark it "Does not work/defective". So it's not like this is something that's normal, it definitely appears to be busted, right?

Got it less than a month ago...

Yup, all static all the time. If I didn't know better I'd say the SMA connector on the left isn't hooked up to anything internally. :(

Yep, it's the 7-channel so it only has Band F (which I can verify both receivers are set to).

Yep, I've tried swapping them and even removing them altogether. RX2 is always perfect and RX1 is just static.

Right, but I'm skipping diversity mode and going right to RX1 and RX2. I've tried the same antenna on both and even no antenna. Same result: RX1 is static and RX2 is perfect.

Yep, they're both on channel 4. I just tried cycling through all of them on RX1 thinking maybe it would be a fluke, but, of course, it didn't make a difference.

Howdy, I've got the 7-channel Flysight: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LGCYHWI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I've got my transmitter on the equivalent of channel 4. When I put the screen in diversity mode, it only ever selects the right antenna and the image is clear. When I...

Ugh. Well that sucks. I'm gonna try some of the solutions people have recommended on here, but none of them seemed to work 100% of the time. May be time for the ol' pliers!

I didn't realize it was THAT intelligent, that's awesome, thanks!
