Updated P3S to 1.9.2. Reapplied Icarus and AC would not talk.
Then did Factory Reset on Icarus, rebooted.
Finally applied 27dbm to boyh RC and AC, all working perfectly.
So lesson is,, after firmware update I need to factory reset Icarus then reapply settings.
No, I bought another controller (used) for $35aud and use it.
I still use the old controller occasionally as it has Argtek installed. It lasts about 3 to 4 days before it goes flat.
You have to adjust the dBm power output for both transmitter and aircraft. It is a slide style selection. But, it does have a simple Factory Reset switch for when you get home. Have a look at the screen shots on the Google Play store.

Video feed was strong the whole time.
Tried the Magic Power mod, but the program would not...
Just used Icarus on my P3S running 1.8.10 firmware.
Trippled my distance.
I am in Australia and we are forced to operate under the CE power spectrum.
Using standard antenna:
Previous best was around 400M (1312 feet).
Today after update I made 920M (3018 feet) before I got my first flicker of...
Yes, disconnected everything.
And yes, the yellow led is a combination of the green and red being on at the same time.
DJI were unable to help.

Follow up.
The battery seems to last about a week and a half from being fully charged if I dont fly. Still no issues when flying, all appears to work ok.
I was looking on ebay a week ago and there was a used controller up for auction. Poor guy crashed his P3S into the Pacific Ocean. I won the...
