Flytrex just added

Re: Questions

I have the Flytrex 3G live on order & also downloaded the Android app in the meantime.

All of our cell phones are with Verizon as we have great coverage in our area with them, T-Mobile had too many dropped calls.

Things I don't understand in the flytrex manual http://www.flytrex.com/support/flytrex-live/manual/

"5. Data MicroSIM and Data Usage

Live uses 2G data microSIM for its live telemetry stream. You can order such microSIM from most local mobile carriers. When ordering, make sure the SIM crad is designed for use with 2G GPRS modems"

Isn't 2G being phased out in favor of 3G & 4G?

Best Buy sells the H20 plan referenced above.

Does H20 tap into any available network? (Verizon, Sprint, AT&T or T-Mobile)

Thanks for your help!

The Flytrex Live 3G uses the 3G GSM network. H2O wireless uses AT&T's network (cell towers). Verizon uses a different type of network, CDMA/LTE.

Get the micro sim for H2O wireless from bestbuy or wherever sells it, also get a $10 prepaid cell service card. Activate it online, insert the card into the Flytrex and you should be up and running not too much longer after that.

Thank you phenom!

Looks like AT&T has good coverage for out area, off to the local Best Buy once the flytrex gets here!

Hi Navman

I believe that you were looking at the user manual for the older Flytrex Live (2G) instead of the manual of the latest Live 3G. If you ordered the Live anywhere in the past 3-4 months you should already have the Live 3G version since we no longer sell the 2G version.

As mentioned here above, the new Live 3G uses 3G GSM network, so shouldn't be any problem with network compatibility or support.

If it helps, you can find the manual of the Live 3G version here: http://www.flytrex.com/support/flytrex-live-3g/manual/

Totally agree with you Navman! I debated and researched for a tracker when I decided to get into FPV flying. I was so lucky to have it on one of my first FPV flights, because this happened!

I would not have found it this season if it weren't for the Last Seen feature on the app, because it snowed just a few days later!

I just installed the Live 3G, thanks Phenom303 for the posts on H2Owireless. Seems to be working great, I get the live feed on app and pc. My problem is I have only seen 1 out 5 missions recorded on my profile page. I thought it missed the 1st mission because I didn't start the motors. I am testing outside my window, no props. Does it have to move before it calls it a mission? I would also like to know when it starts and stops a mission, at power up or motor start. My Coe 2 was at power on/off. If it stops the mission on power off how does it upload if the Live 3G is already off. I did try letting it sit quit awhile after motors off to get it to upload.
Thanks.

Resolved, Flytrex support answered my email in less than 4 hours!! Flytrex has a filter that will eliminate power cycles, no actual flights, from posting.

I just bought an H20 sim card at Best Buy for $10 and was told to go home, create an account & activate it.

This is what I'm getting with no option for the $9.99/90 day plan.

https://www.h2owirelessnow.com/mainCont ... e=activate

After spending 30 minutes in chat with h20, I'm told I have to go back to store and get refill card to get the pin number?

Also, don't have the required IMEI from inside the phone as the card is going in the flytrex.

flytrex arrived today but I'm stuck trying to get the sim card activated, please help!

I bought my sim from best buy too and they didnt have the prepay refill card. I searched online and found newegg has them that they can email the pin number you need. also, the IMEI number can be found by scanning the qr code on the flytrex if i remember correctly.
I was able to get mine setup just by using the H2O website ater buying the prepaid pin code from newegg.
