So, how many times has the BEEPER MODE on your FPV saved you from losing your quad?  I'm new but it's aleady saved me a few times.  Just know you've really got to be on top of it sometimes to hear that beeper.  Often within 10 feet of it before you can actually hear it. Especially, if it's in the brush or weeds.

You should also be running a ViFly or Hellgate buzzer. They are both louder than the motor beeper and have battery backup in case the main battery ejects and unplugs. In addition to this, you can set pre arm and the beeper switch to the same switch and position. Then your quad will be beeping right before you arm and you will have a warning that the quad can be armed. You need to turn off mode switch activation for the motor beeper for arming to work, but can leave RX loss on so both beepers sound if transmitter signal is lost.

Thanks..I appreciate the feedback.  I did see those ViFly & Hellgate buzzer's.   Just haven't gotten that far in my FPV journey.  On my to-do list though.  Hopefully, I get around to it before I lose a quad!

I agree 100% with what Tom A said.

You need a beeper that will still work if you toss a battery.
