I believe the problem might be the connector on main board and the plug at the end of the GPS cable. They don't exactly appear to be a good match for mating to each other. The pins on the main board connector are flat, and the female connector pins on the plug are square. There are tabs on the side that bend in, but after some time these may no longer make good contact, and that is why my satellite count may be low. The tabs make contact with the narrow section (on the sides) of the pins.
I bent the tabs back in, and it may be a better now. It was windy and party cloudy out, so I didn't want to take it up too high. Will try again when it is less windy out.
I wondering what the max satellites someone has seem with the Phantom 2 Vision Plus? I have seen a max of 13. I wonder how many satellites it can track/lock on to?
I would like to replace the 2mm with the 4mm antenna I have... maybe someday I'll try it again, but only after this issue is solved.
Thanks for the reply |
