Railway lines could act as a ground plane (increase the intensity) for other EMF signals being emitted from sources such as microwave or cell towers, or even pull the RC signal and make it weaker. A weak signal over a short distance can typically be traced to a signal in the area which is stronger than your RC and AC. Due to harmonics, the interrupting signal does not have to be at the same frequency as your DJI equipment, just stronger. I have had similar issues around navigation aids for boats (augmented GPS) and aircraft (VOR and NDB), which are not always identifiable by their looks. Aeronautical navigation charts (cost approx. $10 US) identifies nav aids, power lines, etc., are nice to have and provide a heads up before going to a new location. A good EMF free area is the best place to test the AC range. Around populated areas, cell phone use increases/decrease at certain times of day. So in the morning you may get a better distance, than around noon, when more people are chatting/texting with their cell phones.
Great advice and explanation mate thank you |
