[QUOTE="suprPHREAK, post: 18029, member: 1505"] So we all know that the Spark uses a WiFi connection, and it has limited range and more easily gets interference than digital radio. Why? If the Mavic/Phantom (and other RC stuff) can go long range with 2.4ghz radios, why is WiFi so limited? Both are limited by the same power output by FCC or whoever, and I thought all 2.4 channels were the same? In the case if Spark and Mavic, the antennas are the same so you can't even say a higher gain antenna is the difference. Is it the protocols? Does WiFi use FHSS like Spektrum and others? Note, I'm talking about when using an RC in all cases. Phone to drone wifi will suck for many reasons. Let's compare apples to apples. [/QUOTE]
