Must have no obstcale in line of sight ?

I used to believe that if there is any, disconnection will occur immediately. Well, I accidentally found that my M2P in CE mode and operating on 5.8 GHz can go behind a big factory and still remain well connected. It's a big surprise to me.

CE mode? Whats that? I hate acronyms! In a city 5.8 Ghz may very well work well for ypu. Get out in the country and boast about it again. In a City where 5 Ghz is prevalent may turn to shite 1 km away. I dont trust 5.8 Ghz any further than line of sight.

I see you are on the city fringe. Take 'er out 1km and boast again.

The 5 GHz narrow band gets to a pin point with distance. Failure is in the distance.

Set to Auto instead,

The only caution I would took in is to ensure your RTH altitude is higher than any obstacle in the area. Just in case of disconnect!
