This morning I was flying my MA2 down near the river, which is surrounded by wooded hills. I was at an altitude of 200 feet. Once the drone got 1886 or so feet away from me, DJI Fly started flashing red warnings of low signal, and my video transmission got flaky. I have only had this thing a few weeks and have mostly been flying in the field behind my house, so these warnings unnerved me a bit. I had read somewhere that you should try to point the antennas in the direction of the aircraft and also gain some altitude, but I still got the warnings, so I brought it back closer and everything was fine. 1886 feet is about 1/3 of a mile, which is not very far, when these drones are rated to fly much farther away than that.
I looked at my logs in Airdata, and on the "Signal" section, all the markers are saying 100% calculated signal.
What do I need to do differently when I go back to that same location and try to go farther?
TIA
I can attach the log of the flight if anyone wants to see it (and it's permissible on this forum).
