[size=14.6667px]Hi All,
[size=14.6667px]

[size=14.6667px]Is it normal to get only about 600-700m range in town? Slightly less or more in different directions, but never more than 1000m (1km). This was the same with my MP. And when I go to the open areas out of town I get much more..

[size=14.6667px]I was hoping the new Ocusync would make it better...

[size=14.6667px]Regards

It could be because you're in a heavy interference area, if you're getting longer range in other locations then it's probably an indication?

I have tried that.  I think it is because I never have clear LOS; I am surrounded by double-storey buildings....

If you're seeing limited distance with your MP and you're new MP2, then it's more than likely your surroundings. I use my MP to check fence lines on farms and I fly over 9,000 feet from home point on a regular basis without any problem. Might try going out somewhere in the country and see if your range improves and that would confirm the problem for you.

Thank you for reaching DJI forum. Did you receive an error message? If yes, kindly provide a screenshot. Please refer on the video tutorial below on how to properly position your antennas. You can also try to change a different open wide area and check if the issue is still the same.

Launch from the top of a building n the distance should increase significantly.
