Mavic 4 Pro / RC 2 FCC transmission & range issues.

[Saladshooter]

I have been flying the Mavic 4 Pro for about a week now. My old setup was the Mavic 3 Pro and a RC-N1 controller.... it provided plenty of range for my typical flights in the small town I live in. The Mavic 4 Pro / RC 2 controller combo is reducing my achievable distance by at least 30%. I am getting interference and weak signal indications at distances as little as 1000ft in FCC mode, while well within the ability to see the M4P (VLOS). Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I use my RC2 with my A3S and RC Pro 2 with the Mavic 4 Pro; no issues with either.

I had. very poor range with the RC 2 and Mavic 4 on the first day I got it. Same weak signal, signal interference etc but after doing a FW refresh on Assistant 2 on the drone and RC, I now get over 6km with just 1 bar dropped.

Thanks Suren, I was considering doing as it is fully updated otherwise.... wasn't sure if doing a refresh would help anything. Worth a try.

Check you transmission settings and see if the signal is set to auto or locked on on freq. Just guessing here, but it might be your problem.

Auto. Moving to manual frequencies seems to revert on reboot anyway.

I did the Firmware refresh and seem to be getting virtually identical results now with the Mavic 4 Pro and my Mavic 3 Pro so I will consider it a success.
