Hey guys need some help here. I bought a brand new p3p two weeks ago and never tested it until today. Before I even fly it once, I sent my controller to DBS mods to install the ITelite. When I flew it today the maximum distance I reached was 6000 feet at 200 alt and then I started to lose RC and video connection. Did the installer not hook up something correctly inside the controller or did I do something wrong? Help please!!
DBS mods ITelite bad install or what?

What were the conditions -- where were you flying-- the Mod will easily do two to three miles, however, if you have a lot of interference or obstructions where you don't have good LOS, then 6000 feet is pretty decent. Did you get a video?
6000' at 200' of altitude is pretty good. Run it up to 400' and youll get more range. And, of course, range is dependent on your location, terrain, weather, etc.
I was is an open area with a clear LOS I had video up to 6000 feet distance then I started to lose both
If the install was bad for some reason, let's say a cable was not hooked up correctly or at all, then I wouldn't be able to even go 10 feet even right?
Could have been interference-- you had good signal when you left, but that can change drastically in a mile, and you could be flying through and area with a lot of radio signal interference.
What kind of device are you running, Android or IOS and what was the outside temperature, and were you standing in direct sunlight?
I run IOS Ipad 3 and in the direct sunlight with temps above 90 degrees the Ipad will heat up to about 120 degrees F and start flickering and dropping signal... I fly in my truck much of the time when I cant get in the shade and that solves that issue. I get good range, right thru the windshield with the DBS Mod.

I am guessing you did not get that distance in a hilly heavy treed area? If you did that's amazing.
It's also more directional, so you have to aim it better at the bird. If you lose signal, move the controller around a bit making sure the flat part of the panel is pointing directly at your bird.
