hi guys.
I am having trouble with my Dji Phantom 3 standard.
I bought the drone around two years ago and it was running great.
I don't really remember what the sequence was, but I think it showed up that it was a new firmware available.
Then I upgraded the firmware to 1.09.2 and just continued to fly.
I don't remember what order all these things happened but I think that after the firmware upgrade it started to get a bad range.
Approximately 50 meters (164 ft) far away and 30 meters (98 ft) high was the range I had.
That was sad!
So then I searched on the internet and find ARGtek antennas, I bought them and installed them.
As I remember I started to fly with them and I think I got the range better to something around 200 meters (650 ft) far away and around 70 meters (230ft) high.
I was thinking that it was still to short range for the drone, so I searched on the web and thought about firmware downgrade would fix the problem.
So yesterday I downgraded to 1.08.10 (dji) and calibrated imu etc, same range.
I saw that some people on the internet said that 1.07.9 would do so you got better range.
So I downgraded to 1.07.9 and I hade same range.
I have tried some different locations for example flat field, on a small hill, near my house and close to a lake.
the max distance I have got is 469 meters (1538 ft) and around 120 meters (393 ft) high.
I have log out and into the go app and changed the antenna direction.
Is this the max range for the drone? Do you have any thoughts, questions or answers
Please feel free to write something that would be very appreciated!!!
Thank you so much!
