[QUOTE="I B Spectre, post: 101807, member: 18605"] Trey, I don't recall if you said you've tried an OTG cable between your phone/tablet and the RC. Most pilots find it really helps with stable communication. Ensuring your device is in Airplane mode and Bluetooth off prevents signal interruptions. The 2.4GHz band will give somewhat greater range, but is subject to more interference, particularly in urban areas. 5.8GHz has a bit less range, but is less subject to interference. Here's a link to a discussion on signal issues: [URL='https://sparkpilots.com/threads/problem-with-signal-strength.15904/']WiFi signal strength[/URL] As to the updates, some people post they get update notifications on a regular basis. I checked mine yesterday and had only one Precision Flight update to download, all others were up to date. This was the first one I've had to do in over a month. I could have flown without it, but I like to stay on top of it. Spark firmware hasn't been updated by DJI in a long time. [/QUOTE]
