So, got my P3A yesterday, and have flown in three locations so far, testing things out. Flies great, video quality is great. Problem is, I lose the video signal by 150 to 300 feet. RC signal is still strong, but the screen says signal lost and the screen goes black, all telemetry goes to NA. I have been flying RC for a long time, and have trouble shot this to death, and at this point figure it has to be a faulty phantom. I am flying in a very rural area, in the high desert in western Colorado. There is no interference, and the signal noise for the various HD channels is extremely low. I've flown on auto, and chosen various channels on manual. Makes no difference. I've flown with the iPad and the Android phone, makes no difference. Get more than 300 feet down range, video signal is totally lost. I have of course ensured that the antennae are aimed properly, perpendicular to the p3. Moved them this way and that, makes no difference.
I'm going to return to B & H photo, but thought I'd just see if anyone here had any ideas. I'm bummed. Thanks in advance.
