Finally had enough decent weather that allowed me to do some limited test of my new DBS mod. Only flew about 500-600 meters out at an altitude of 50 meters. Distance testing will come later when its warmer.
Using Litchi app on my iPad Mini 4 the controller signal strength read, on average, 82% regardless of how far/close the drone was away. Rotating the antenna (up/down, left/right) would show only minor changes in the signal strength. No matter how I positioned the antenna the signal % was never higher than 84%.
At home I decided to do a bit more testing. Basically the same results. I decided to test using the DJI-Go app and noticed I could never get more that 4 (out of 5) bars. This held true running the app on android and iOs.
Is this something I need to worry about or are these signal strength reading just broad estimates? Funny thing is that the video strength always showed 100%
