Does the DJI Mavic Air 2 Have whatever Antenna is required to have Remote ID?

NOTE *DISCRETIONARY*!

Therefore - NOT supposedly OKAY!

It’s fine, there is no need to worry! The FAA is NOT going to enforce Remote ID

this is above my pay level so I'll ask in simple terms.....can I fly my Air 2 without the RID?

Based on FAA requirements, and no rid in the Air 2 - NOT after the September 2023 date.

Some of us WILL!

Apparently the firmware update dropped today for the MA2 and several people have installed it with success. Its finally here

Our MA2 drones uses the same antenna that it uses to connect between the controller and the drone.

Don't overthink it. You have to have an Internet connection to use the smart controller and the delivered controller.

I was a bit confused about it until I dug into it further. Here is a link to a document that explains it in detail. It is somewhat technical.

With that said, DRIP (Drone Remote ID Protocol) uses a broadcast protocol vía a 2.4ghz connection and the internet to provide information to the FAA Remote ID receivers.

I installed the update today on my MA2 and smart controller. Now I get a "unable to take off" message on the controller screen. Called DJI, spent almost an hour on the call with no fix!!!!
