Sorry I'm not being clear. I lose RC and I have it on return to home so it comes back and I regain control at that point, the video is cutting out but for short internals not my main concern I would like to fix the distance problem and I am in GPS mode.
I understand what you are trying to achieve and where you have indicate the symptom of the issue.
"short distance" is a symptom of likely issue with your antenna / reception. So look there.
You have 2 sets of antenna. Check both or check the one you are losing connection first.
You lose control of bird at 600 feet. Therefore you conclude the bird now has a 600 feet problem where it used to go 1200 feet. Is that correct? IF SO,
Question 1: why do you lose control of bird at 600 feet?
Question 2: what's allowing you to control your bird?
That's why we are talking about the antenna. Hope that's clear.
1. GPS issue does not impact how far you can control your bird.
2. Flight controller (NAZA) isn't the issue seeing you are controlling your drone fine up until 600 feet.
3. Battery issue DOES impact, but the short distance is not due to running out of battery.
4. Damaged transmission circuit boards could potentially weaken the signal strength and thus reducing your distance. For this you would need specialized equipment to measure the RF output strength. Do you have one?
5. I assume you've check all of your app settings to remove any distance limit.
6. Lastly, it could be a lose antenna or damaged antenna.
Those are the possible cause that I can think of on what might impact the distance you can control your drone. So you can go down the list and check all of them.
