FCC vs CE mode - How to tell?

[simonr23]

I've bought a RC Pro, but in the transmission tab, it seems to suggest it has lower transmission power than my RC-N1.

Rc Pro - 1km/4km lines on 90/100db
N1 - same lines are 87/96 (ish)

Is this normal for the Pro, or am I stuck in CE mode (in Australia)?

It's the same unit sold all over the world. The transmission is based on your location (via gps) and I believe in Australia you'll be using CE. If you travelled to the US, then the unit automatically switches to FCC mode.

Thanks for replying.
Since I made the post I’ve done some more searching.

Australia is FCC, that part I knew previously.

What I think I’ve found is that iOS and Android have a different display for the transmission page.

iOS- the actual line moves based on CE/FCC
Android- the 1km and 4km icons move- above 90db and 100db in FCC and in-line/below the same db markers in CE.

That being the case (and another test tonight, I’m sure mine is in FCC mode.

PS- rc pro craps all over the rcn1 for signal.
A long flight I’ve done a few times now was way better and lower altitude with the same rc pro vs rcn1.

$1200 RC Pro has 4x the signal strength of the $109 RC-N1! Enjoy!

Does your transmission tab show dual mode 2.4 and 5.8 GHz, or just 2.4?
