[QUOTE="Ender, post: 2871, member: 172"] Hi ! CE Land here, so even much worse then in FCC countries !!!!! 5G sux bad, my SPark always settles to 5G mode (NOT talking about phone <--> Tx WiFi but about Tx <---> SPark COnnection !!!). In 5G mode with the new Antenna i maxed out at 400m@50m Altitude but that was already having very choppy video and signalloss. Smooth flying until 200m@50m ALtitude. The one time i managed (however) to have the Spark COnnection stay at 2.4G i was able to go 600m@50m Altitude and i could have gone further but the battery was on 20% ;-) EVen worse then the bad range on 5G is the fact that a SIGLE tree can lead to signal loss even at 50m distance. Its physics... 2.4G has MUCH more penetration. When i did this 600m flight i came back and ducked behind a treeline at 150m distance and it was just a bit choppy, i cannot do that with 5G in 20m distance ! So basically i need to knwo how to permanently and releiably switchto 2.4 G mode. (All distances were with stock Antennae except the first 400/200 numbers but the stock antennae should perform similar i hope, waiting for 2 Alfa APA M25 to see if they make a difference): Ender [/QUOTE]
