I don't work for Comcast. I've been a long time customer however.Based on that response I guess we know who works for Comcast.

There are other better options. I use this... a true UHF beacon, and extremely small and light. Welcome | tBeacon
On aircraft where I can easily tap into the GPS, that's what I do. On the Mavic, not possible. I use a hand made Yagi and directional finding. The TBeacon has an awesome proximity mode that works like a champ. I've been able to zero in on mine from nine miles away.
This one is on my list.Ping - The World’s Smallest Global GPS Locator
Oh, Ok, somehow I missed your post. I read that the range has been reduced greatly with the last firmware upgrade. Not sure, but I don't think there are very many guys here that would be willing to get a Ham license to use it.I already posted the link to the TBeacon I use earlier in this thread. I'm currently changing how I mount it, and will post pictures when I get it mounted in a more suitable location.
I should note that to use the TBeacon, by the rules you need to be a Ham operator. I've been a Ham for years- getting the Technicians licence is easy these days if you study up a bit. I'm really curious how the heck DJI was able to get FCC certification with the Mavic and still get the kind of range it gets.
