Hello Forum!
Today i had my next record flight, with my P3A, no mods for antenna. 4KM. Hooray!
Of course there were multiple video signal losses and interferences that i flew through, even though it was an open field, but still.
I had 2 remotes with me. One original one. and second one, i mentioned here, that i took from my friend.
Does distance depend on remote?
First i flew with my RC, and that's how i got to 4KM. It lost its signal at the end, did RTH and TOOK a WHILE for reconnecting. Meaning, it did reconnect signal somewhere when it was around 1.3KM close to me maybe. I dont remember. But not soon enough.
after linking and flying with second (friends) RC, i didn't achieve, even half of this distance, i got to 1.5KM when it lost signal, but not only video, the RC as well. Of course my heart was racing, and it took time to come back 1.5KM, but it did.
BUT, when it was close, it DIDN'T reconnect. and did auto landing, which was very close to a tree. I got very lucky.
So my question is, as i see, the re connection is an issue with both remotes or its a drone. Meaning, when RC gets to its MOST further possible point of delivering signal, and loses connection and when drone approaches it, it takes time to reconnect, or in case of the second remote, doesn't reconnect at all.
Any solutions? Advice?
