    .DAT files ; what information do they contain?

    When selling a phantom 3 on ebay besides obviously erasing the SD card what else should be done? I understand there are .dat files internally on the phantom 3 that contain flight data, but what are the specifics of this data? I'm assuming things like altitude, distance, voltages, duration, any...

    Preparing phantom 3 For Sale - What should be done?

    I was just wondering if there should be anything further formatted or deleted to return the phantom back to factory stock status? I deleted the .dat files via usb connection, and formatted the sd card but is there anything else? I googled and found an article about an option within the go app...

    I'd be possibly interested in something like this. Not much info. out there on this type of mod though unfortunately. I'm wondering how difficult this install is? Controller side is cake. Seems that not very many people are upgrading the bird side antennas; mainly I assume because people are...

    I understand this. I've made my peace. I put more stock in these boosters powering through trees than I should have. The antenna works, so did my free homemade wind surfer. I had to drive out to the middle of nowhere to watch this antenna surpass a wind surfer, but yeah it works. This wasn't...

    $150 antenna $300 identical boosted antenna No mention of my extra $150 providing little to no gain. Yeah, I'd call that a little misleading.

    I was also disappointed to find out after the $300 purchase that with the V.2 antenna; little is to be gained boosted vs. unboosted! Why am I being sold boosters then? My loss, but hopefully by creating this thread it will serve up some key info. that I missed out on. IF, they are lucky...

    I think this "Important Pointer" should be clearly disclosed on your website so customers know ahead of time what is required for optimal use of this antenna instead of people dropping $300 and finding this out the hard way After the purchase. I know I fell into this category. I don't have the...

    Both antennas perform equally well so many people are saying.......... out in the wide open! My question is which antenna design offers more penetration through obstructions, mainly trees? Circular or linear? Knowing this fact will benefit the majority of us who aren't driving out to the...

    No I didn't notice those posts, I wish I would have. If there is little to nothing to be gained by boosting his v2 then why is he selling a boosted v2 version? I feel taken in this aspect.

    I'm going to ask about a refund. One thing I can say, communication is speedy with him. I'm sure this kit works in the right conditions; it's just not useful or practical for my intended purposes; flying from my backyard surrounded by trees.

    Seems to be the lesson here. I did gain, but I didn't get nowhere near $300 bucks worth of gain. I don't know if it's worth another $100 at this point to compare the DBS antenna or not. I'd be able to use the boosters with it. I'm just wondering does the dbs offer increased penetration?

    I considered DBS first but I thought with all the trees the extra money would be well spent in having boosters power through the trees. Man, I was wrong.

    Yes, that 6,500 ft I was getting was with a windsurfer and I have all 32 channels

    Yes, but in what conditions? These kind of results mean nothing if I have to pack up my P3 and haul it in my car to seek out some wide open area. I think these pricey kits should be clearly marketed this way that way there are no false expectations and let downs.
