Purchased a used P3P yesterday and tested it today. Everything was fine until I tested the rth. Started to land directly below where it was. I took over manual control and brought it home. I double-checked for satellites, battery level and height setting. All we're good. What am I missing?
No RTH with p3p??

That will happen if you're less than 20m (65ft) from the Home Point. If you were more than 20m away, you need to check the settings in the app for RTH....it can be set to RTH/hover/land. Default setting is RTH.
If it was 65 feet or less away from you at the time, it did what it is supposed to. If it was further away, it is likely that you took off before home point was recorded. Always wait for "her" to announce that home point has been recorded before lifting off.
I was at least 200' away. I'm having trouble finding the rth setting you referred to. Can you help emwith that?
Your best bet is to download the full manual from Phantom 3 Professional - Specs, FAQ, Tutorials, Downloads and DJI GO - DJI ,it explains RTH in detail, and lots more that you're going to want to know.
Only thing that I can think of is that I did not allow home point positioning to be set. I'll test again later. RTH setting was set for "return home ".

There is no such setting for RTH.
You are confusing this with the setting for Loss of SIgnal options.

Perhaps you triggered autoland instead of RTH?
It should be possible to see from your flight log.
Go to https://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/Upload/
Follow the instructions to upload your flight record.
Come back and post a link to the report it provides.
Quite right!...I woke up in the middle of the night and realised I'd given wrong information.
I was going to correct it this morning, but you've done it for me,
