Hello comrades.
I need some help determining where the problem is, please. A big thank you in advance. I had posted this in the Mini 2 forum back 12.31.23 but I need additional help.
@Meta4, @slup, and all other data whisperers.
The issue: The connection between the RC and the drone breaks down, though there is no more than 16 ft. between them.
I don't know if the flight log will show anything beyond marking each event as it happened, but here are the links:
I've attached: 2 flight records and 2 screen captures. (see below)
12.31.23

01.27.24

The story: I'm flying a Mini 2 I rec'vd in March 2023. It is a replacement for a within-warranty faulty Mini 2.
I have not updated the replacement's firmware v01.03.0500 nor the DJI Fly app since v1.9.4
I figure, since it has been performing just fine (until now), those versions are not playing a part with my issue. Am I figuring incorrectly there?
At any rate, the drone has flown just fine until 12.31.23. On that day, since I hadn't flow it in over a month and I was taking it with me on a trip, I brought out the drone for a checkup before I pack it. I was in my yard just hovering about 3 ft. away from me and +- 8 ft. AGL. I was watching the drone for a bit then took a look at the screen and saw an alert just blinking off about weak signal and aircraft not connected to RC. Very soon after that I got a message about RC signal lost and an RTH was automatically initiated. Shortly thereafter the connection was restored and I was able to gain control and land. I turned off the RC and drone. Then re-started everything and did 2 more tests and it pretty quickly lost connection again both times. Each time I'm standing just below and off to the side. Should have been a strong signal.
Coupla days ago I re-tested the drone and got the same results. The signal and connection would begin to deteriorate at when the drone was about 8-12 ft away from the RC and quickly get worse by the inch.
Someone suggested the cable connecting the RC to the mobile device may be failing, however, I never received and alert about RC not connected to mobile device. Only "signal is weak" and "RC is not connected to aircraft".
Thanks again
