WEAK CONTROLLER SIGNAL!!

[Edv21985]

So I got the Argtek installed last night and took it for a flight and flying West I was able to go 800ft out at 200 ft up, flying North only 650-680 before the signal just dropped to one red bar and Weak controller signal flashed in the top left corner.I'm no understanding how people are getting 4-5000 ft with these when I can barely get 1000!!I tried adjusting the antenna several times and taking it back out all with the same result. This just doesn't make sense. Is there something wrong with this Phantom 3s?I need help, getting really frustrated!!

Empty all programs from your device (Apple) by double clicking home button and swiping the pages off the device. Reboot by holding on/off button for 5 seconds. Start back up. Put device in airplane mode. Turn on DJI App
Now...Your device is "flight mode"
I also added copper antenna signal range boosters. Found on Amazon.

Go higher.

Also try posting in the P3 Standard section. You will probably get more answers.

The wires on the argtek kit are only soldered to the rpsma connectors. If you did the mod yourself I'd check that. They can break off easily and if handled roughly can easily get loose.

Do you mean inside the antennas bar that mounts on top of the controller?Maybe I should take that apart and check the soldier joints, then silicone then for extra protection
