If any of you have problems mounting your Trackimo, there are many 3D printing templates out there.

I found one of the things i was talking about

Don't forget folks, no cell coverage, no tracking. If you fly in areas where mobile coverage is patchy or worse you are still on your own.

Thanks trail I was wondering about that. No coverage out my way so guess it'd be back to flight record to locate.

Thinking of getting a tk102 tracker here in UK. I see they have a magnetized strip for attachment. Should this be removed for use with a phamtom to avoid any interference with electronics?? Could be held on with velcro instead.

I lost a Mavic Pro on a 50 - 50 issue. Being half was my fault for doing a Letchi mission on a windy day. It sent it on a flight path I had done before but with a slightly different return path. There was a high hill in the way and I lost radio contact. I know it didn't crash because I imported the flight path from Google Earth. I knew the elevation. It just hit a head wind and ran out of juice on the way back.

The tracker I picked was a cheap clone from eBay.  It worked when it wanted to. Before I took off it game me a response. I lost contact with the drone and ET never phoned home. Lesson learned is be selective when you buy a tracker.  Don't buy cheap. You get what you pay for. Brefore you take off.... test Test Test and test. Don't take anything for granted. I made a mistake and and my fail safe failed me. The tracker did not work. I have a good idea where it went down because the flight path is on the mission hub. I know what the winds were that day. I am going to retrace the flight path with another drone in attempt to locate it. I live out in the sticks and ground foliage is at a minimun now.

I'm not going to reccomend a GPS Tracker but.. The TK102B seems ok.

There is a known issue loosing cell connection when you change the battery. Fix is to take the sim card out and turn it on for 5 minutes. Put the sim card back and you should be ok.

If anyone gives a rat's ass I'll keep you posted. The weather has been terrible and I have not been able to fly much. I'm going to find it and when I do I will show you how I did it.

I am on the fence with radio interferance and the trackers. I do get what the frequencies are but I do suspect they can punch each other in the face.
To me that may be an issue.
