Read this :
-If flying and notice a dropout of video siganal at say over one quarter mile , re orientate the AC so it is pointing (squarly ) directly at you or away from you , ( YOU SHOULD ALWAYS TRY TO STAY ORIENTATED TO THE AIRCRAFT WITH THE AC AND RC. (remeber to keep as much of an unbroken laser beam between the AC and RC ) the antennas on the aircraft are located on the VERY front and VERY back of the aircraft on the landing gear just below the motors. Try to keep these pointing directly back to the RC transmitter . Keep the RC antennas pointing vertically directly at the Aircraft at all times to get the best reception , I have seen pilots get tired holding the RC transmitter and the RC transmitter and antennas are basically pointing down to the ground, hold it up high as if the Lanyard that came with your system is on your neck. . STAY ORIENTATED ON THE AIRCRAFT, I try to keep the radar ( I know it is just t a symbol and not radar ) pointer either directly away or facing me .
-watch video in post #2
Also read my tips on this topic, only takes 5 minutes to read , may help and there is a video below my post in a link .
Video Transmission issues with X3 or X5 ? Try These Suggestions !
try to test fly in anothere area, You shoudl get MUCH further than 200 meters. I get over 4500 meters in the right conditions . BUT we must go over your settings .
Go to the link I provide and also watch the video that is just below my post in the link to understand what I am talking about below.
*****IN your situation if you have the RC transmitter high in your hands and a laser beam ( imaginary of course ) and you loose reception when facing away from you but if you turn it around and the siganl greatly improves ( i may have this backward , but you know what I mean ) something may be wrong with the solder joint or antenna . I think more testing is in order.
***** Make sure the Slide bar on the Remote contol setting page ( this is just below the frequncy numbers that the AC is scanning on the Go app ) is set for maximum distance as well. If it is set for MAX bit rate it will GREATLY reduce the range . make sure you view and change this setting with the entire system fired up or it may not stay .
**** see if the side that had the motor replaced has the limited distance and poor signal . If it does I would suspect they may have done something wrong . When soldering the antenna wire you need to be certain you keep the Center wire Insulated away and not toucjing the Coax sheath around it. If PROS did this then I am sure they would know this but accidents and mistakes do happen .
*** If you have can get at least 1 Kilometer of distance ( in the correct safe area ) and can rotate the aircraft directly away and towrds you and keep the same strong siganl you are fine . When the AC gets sideways in relation to the RC transmitter ( because the antennas on the AC are not pointing directly back to the RC ) it is normal to loose signal strength . This is one reason there is a LOCK feature on the Camera gimbal . At distance you can keep the Camera locked in one direction and spin the AC so the Antennas are oreietnated back to the RC transmitter .
Sorry for the long repeteitive post , I do that sometimes ...... ( head injury , long story )
