I would like to install a tracker on my P3S drone.  Extra security-- but also just to test the tracker (which I use on my HP Rockets).  OK but it utilizes the following frequencies:

Frequency coverage: 222.000 to 224.990MHz in 10kHz steps
(covers all 128 transmitter channels)


My transmitter is set to: 224.750  --- and just wondering if anyone knows if this is going to cause interference with my controller and the Phantom 3 Standard?

I believe the P3S is using 2.4 GIGAhz so I really don't see that there can or will be any interference??  Be nice to find a website or text with some explanations of the various frequencies used etc.

Thanks for any comments, directions or links!

The P3 Standard uses 2.4 ghz for the fpv video stream,  but it uses 5.8ghz for the r/c controller signal.

It shouldn't, but you don't know how clean the 224 transmitter is either.  Try it and see.

OK IT WORKED!  I first tested the P3S on the ground with the Tracker attached via a sack to let the antenna trail.  (Sack permits me to land by having the soft sack land first, then I have the P3S move forward dragging the sack and then land so that the sack/transmitter is behind the P3S -- the drone does not land on the transmitter).

All seemed fine.  Take-off and maneuvered at low altitude.  Then up to 400' then at 400' out to about 1000' - then auto-landing there (checking for trees etc.)  Signal very very strong in the air but upon landing much less but still easy to know which direction to walk.  If I had lost all communication with the P3S but had this tracker attached (and I am sure I could have just strapped it on to the landing gear - no necessary to have this bag set-up if I would want to use the tracker all the time)-- I am fairly certain I would have found the P3S.

I am trying to attach some images by dragging them from a folder on my Mac to this message but I have not been successful in having photos appear-- if they don't appear this time I'd appreciate any comments on how to attach photos from a folder on my Mac to these posts.  (I'll check on this myself, too).

OK I am trying another way to possibly get the photos into a reply:

I am once again trying to include an image - seems you have to go to advanced then Picture…

OK It seems to have worked in the above post -- will try again…  one more image - nice sunset, too:
