Poor range with Mavic Air 2

How did you install a third party app without being jailbroken?

you gotta enable an option in the forum but I don't remember where it is... you should ping @gb160, he can help you out.

Takes about 30 mins to take effect once you've changed it.

I'm looking in to range extenders for the MA2, I will post back if I find anything that's not $300!! I need it for urban flying as well, just as a safety net.

dont assume range extenders always work. they are just highly directional antennas, which can lose signal when you are not pointing straight at the drone... "in urban flying" whatever that means.

powered amplifiers, on the other hand, will make ANY situation better, at the expense of being illegal.

The alientech MA2 kit offers both, which is just slightly out of your budget....https://alienth.cn/products/alientech-5-8g-antenna-signal-booster-for-dji-drone-mavic-air-spark-phantom-4pro-inspire-2-m200-600?variant=32476591915083

I would go the amplified route first, and if you want to mod, it looks possible that you can actually now route the existing antenna cables to an external amplifier output and the external amplifier input can be routed to the remote control PCB outputs. this combo was not previously possible with Mavic air 1, pro1/2 etc. In other words you can possibly keep the existing extending antennas and then just add an amplifier.
