    PO'd - Error 300003

    I did 2 things and the problem went away: I logged in and updated all the soft/firm ware. Still have no idea what casued the problem but I have a suspicion. When logged in DJI had a very slick set of screens to guide me through getting Flyaway Protection. You're well into it before you realize...

    PO'd - Error 300003

    Ah, I read the earlier thread. I may have turned the remote AC warning system off - absolutely not need where I was an d I ant to save every possible second of flight time. Perhaps, that ws the casue os the problem - I'll check. In the meantime, if so, there should be a message in the app...

    PO'd - Error 300003

    I started with phone in airplane mode; tried turning airplane mode off when problem arose. I haven't checked for/performed updates since about mid-April - communication here is sub-par, and even keeping things charged can be an issue - central Yukon Territory - so, as a matter of good habit, if...

    PO'd - Error 300003

    In the middle of nowhere -no cell/data network - a week ago, I flew a mission - without trouble - in preparation for a later mission - nearby, but very difficult to spot to reach. Everything went fine from flying to video quality. Two days ago I made the trip to the hard to reach spot. Yeah you...

    Night Lights for Hunting?

    In case it's not clear to someone - hogs are native no where in North America. They are HIGHLY destructive to wildlife, flora, and habitat. There may be some exception but everywhere I know of in the US and Canada that has hogs or hogs exist nearby want them gone. States have various approaches...

    Why flying BVLOS isn't a good idea . . .

    I think something is wrong here. If the military/other wants to fly below 500 feet there needs to be some adequate pre-notice of it. Forget unmanned aircraft for a minute and look at small manned aircraft - what notice do they get? Back to unmanned - Suppose the unmanned operator is hard of...

    Batch file to auto download drone files

    Lol - I remember those .BAT days - did some neat stuff with it. Haven't thought of it in years. Interesting that it still works. Thanks for the program - and thanks for the memoriesl

    Legal surveillance?

    "Shots fired" - where there is no reason to suspect there is any law against it, and no reason given to believe it was aimed at you - duh.

    Wind speed forecast accuracy

    Oh, yeah - 2.5 weeks - no problem. Hey, I'm having a group in for poker next Friday - we'd be delighted if you join us.

    Flying Indoors, Technical Aspects

    Well, yes - that is exactly what I think a repeater does - and thus, ah ha, the time differences are 'frozen' at the position of the repeater and it does not work to fly the drone. Got it.

    Flying Indoors, Technical Aspects

    What then does the 'repeater' do? It is not just boosting signal strength - If I got a stronger signal - that is if the signal reached my drone - the drone would fly fine. Your 'repeater' is not just repeating/boosting the signal and adding the time delay of its processing. It is something other...

    Flying Indoors, Technical Aspects

    "I suspect the repeater is simply amplifying and repeating everything it hears. In that case, any receiver hearing the repeated signal is going to be fooled into reporting its position fixed at location of the repeater's receiving antenna," is not correct. To esily understand this imagine two...

    Flying Indoors, Technical Aspects

    Hmmm, seems to me that, the GPS position inforation received by the drone is incorrect - but so what. So what if it's actual position on a map is not the same as you know where your drone is. IN fact there are more than the current WGS84 reference systems available on GPS's. What counts for...
