    compass calibration - what does it do ?

    it aligns the drones flight system to the magnetic north, not true north. Sometimes it needs to be re aligned due to a given locations interferences, such as metal around the area, maybe some magnetic interference etc., so the drones flight system needs to be 'refreshed' for one of the better...

    Signal booster

    one of the reasons for signal loss may be that you are in a 'high active signal' area that might be causing interference with your drone signal/s. These signals could be wifi, cellular etc.. High density suburban areas are good candidates for such interference.

    So Illegal

    I suppose it is OK then to just fly a drone in controlled airspace, close to other aircraft, be they commercial, military or private....I could go on.... It is really disheartening to read these kind of comments....
