LOL... I'll bite. It is for technical people seeking to apply their software and/or hardware electronics skills to add value increasing the dpwn range performance of their P3S, P2V+, or FC40 Phantoms.

The 5.8ghz RC Uplink range can be improved several ways: Modify the controller - add a third party antenna - drill holes and replace internal RF cables. Make no modifications - add a self contained stand alone 5.8ghz repeater module - flip on its power switch at any time during flight and it...

I know everything about the BK5811 Chip. ALSO, I have created complete software written in "C" that fully emulates DJI 5.8ghz RC control. For the P3S, P2V+, and FC40 Read a bit more here: Phantom 3 Standard range mod , let's do it together...

For the 5.8ghz part of the system, 30dBm (1 Watt) is a lot power for the RC control reason we use it for on Phantom drones. My tests showed in an open field environment, with transmitter at 6 foot from ground level and receiver at about 30 feet from ground level... I had about a 50% QoS...

Good Question. As previously stated, there are two separate radio subsystems: 1) one way 5.8ghz RC type uplink for human-manual flight control. 2) two-way 2.4ghz WiFi link for video and telemetry downlink plus configuration and settings change uplink, etc. The 5.8ghz radio receive only...

Thanks for the info guys. The WiFi settings appear useful extending range. *** In return, I share key information about the 5.8ghz RC Uplink and the P3S' internal 2.4ghz WiFi Repeater Module. *** Far more than just raw Drag Strip Type, Down and Back, Deep Downrange Flying; doing something...

Yep... 27dBm is 1/2 watt; more than allowed by FCC. Canada is another story. Contrary to what many believe about 5.8ghz, it is affected less by water molecules. 2.4ghz is affected more by water molecules. The atmosphere and tree leaves are full of it.

About the 5.8ghz RC Control Uplink Signal: Did anyone figure out how to change the settings to get more than the FCC output limit ??? (sorry if already posted... there is a lot of message thread history to go thru)

Note: a similar thread is in the P3 forum section but many of us stay in our own forum section. Advance Payload Control Please tell all of us here what you would do if you had a Payload Control System. To date.. what has been the point (or payload) for the drones we fly ? We are out to fly...

Getting ready to put up the two drone redbird system. Before 9:30am

It's 9:05am. Around 9:30 I will be live on Periscope demoing the two drone redbird system.

Download the Periscope app now and Follow the Milestone Place group. Then your phone will automatically do g telling you to watch live. We'll be doing multiple live videos. All ya'll have to do is maximize the screen and enjoy.

You are gonna be watching P2V+, P3, and P4 long distance flights. If the demo gods will it, you will see the REDbird Repeater system put a P2V+ deep downrange to ground level.

This coming weekend: Saturday April 30th and Sunday May 1st Enjoy your early morning cup of coffee as you watch live. Not all at once but when we pop up our "Periscope" through out the morning and let you watch live segments of the activities. You can ask questions and be part of the Swarm ...
