It makes a difference if you want to lower the tx power (in case you have boosters) or if you want to use channel 12 or 13 (not enabled by default in FCC area).

According to other posts here PapaTita does not work with the 1.7.9 fw. Icarus does work (I have it) but it is not free.

Hi, I had a similar problem with a Neewer adapter for 37mm filters. The gimbal went too hot and ultimately couldn't hold the extra weight. I solved with home made counterweights and now it is ok. I suggest you to do the same since the gimbal works best when the system is balanced. I don't know...

Range mod is not dead, apparently ! This is what I just received from their support service: ------------------------------------- Dear Mr. Xxxxxxx, thanks a lot for using our software and for your kind remarks. For what concerns your question, we have just committed version 2.1 of the Icarus...

The app should show the error message... Better you contact their support, they answer quickly (this is my experience, at least)

It's an app on Play Store: Icarus for Phantom 3S/4K - Android Apps on Google Play

You could try to increase the power with Icarus range mod. It worked for me with 1.7.86 (btw, I'm back to 1.6.8 since I got no real improvement with 1.7)

I think there is a simpler way to do it: just take one of the many wifi analyzer apps...it will show the signal intensity. Put the tx power to 17 dBm and compare to 27 dBm (do not move RC, AC and phone). The difference is clear enough...

Hi, from what I understood 2.4 and 5.8 GHz are very different. 2.4 is used by the Remote Control to build a WiFi network to which the Aircraft and your Phone connect in order to exchange data (telemetry) and to download the video signal from the AC. There is full bi-directional communication...

The patch itself you do once, reboot and forget. Setting may be changed at will. As far as I can see they modified somehow the WiFi driver in order to achieve a fixed Tx output level. There is no evidence for loops checking each 10 or 20 seconds if the Tx power went back to CE and resetting it...

It's Icarus for P3S, yellowish icon

At the end I did it ! Just took a chance and trusted that app....now I'm glad I've done it ! Applied the range mod to my P3S in a few seconds. Also set tx-power at will on RC and aircraft (you can even burn your transmitter setting it to 30 dBm !). Checked with a wifi analyzer, its...

Thank you ! I've done some really nice flights and I'm just happy with my P3S as it is ! A couple of times I used the litchi waypoints and I was really scared when the video feedback went down...was a bit far but not that much. That's why I'm thinking about increasing the video tx power without...

Hi ! Happy to be here ! There is plenty of interesting discussions and nice stuff ! Just some advice: I'm going to apply the range mod (have to find a windows pc...) but in the meantime I saw on the google play store an app that claims to do it using the smartphone itself. Does anybody have a...
