Now that recent firmware updates have returned Airsense to my Mavic 3 (thank you DJI), I have noticed manned aircraft distance readings of up to 100,000 ft (18.9mi) and altitude readings in excess of 38,000 ft (7.2 miles). There is a lot of commercial traffic in the skies right now due to the holiday weekend, so I am sure I am noticing their transponder data more than usual. My Mavic Air 2 on the other hand will show distance readings of manned aircraft of up to 33,000 ft (6.1 miles) and up to 29,000 ft in altitude (5.5 miles). Both drones use the same Fly App on the same mobile device and both use RC-N1 controllers (although different ones). I have my Airsense setting in the Fly App set to its highest sensitivity level (for both drones). Question: Are all DJI drone Airsense systems created equal? More specifically, does the Mavic 3 have a more powerful Airsense signal receiver with better capability of receiving transponder data from manned aircraft at greater distances?
