[QUOTE="AirCam, post: 58870, member: 10393"] That John Deere site is interesting. It said I should have 7 satellites. At 3.7 feet altitude I had 6 or 7. It would fluctuate. At 8.5 feet I had 8. At 22 feet I had 9. At 211 feet I had 11. At 213 feet I had 12, then 13, then 14, then 17. It stayed between 15 and 17 the whole time I was up there. Maybe the trees have a big influence at lower altitudes? That is a rhetorical question. I KNOW they block GPS reception. I had sufficient signal to set the Home Point at ground level and 93.2% of my flying is comfortably above the trees where I typically had 15 satellites or more. UAV Forecast said I shouldn't be flying and they are forecasting the same (No Flying) all day (24 hours) tomorrow.[ATTACH=full]6108[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]6107[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
