Quick question, I know range is one of the biggest let-downs right now, but curious if there is a factory range strength spec that is comparable or able to test? I.e. should be "xyz" signal strength at 30ft when in a area with limited noise interference?
I just did the update today (all went well and flew fine with quicker GPS acquisition), and it seemed I had drastically less range. Before I had flown ~500yds LOS away and been down to 1 bar but still be fine. But today, flying from my backyard (same general area as before) I was getting auto RTH around ~150yds. I was around 100ft elevation and clear line of slight. I fought it coming home twice and then moved slightly and adjusted antennas some and it then let me get to about 200yds where I was trying to get an image, but I was at 1 bar of signal at that point.
Only thing different today was I did the update prior to flying which was successful, and I also paired a galaxy tab s to the controller so I could use tower to just record the flight to play around. I was using my iphone 6 as the main FPV / control source via the Solo app.
Just thought I'd ask. Didn't know if there was a way to test. That seems oddly short. I was already planning on buying the FPVLR range extender, but I want to make sure there isn't something wrong with the unit or controller beforehand so that I can get the most out of whatever equipment is being used.
Thanks!
