i know that HD will become the short part when FCC is open. but we do observed a siginificant improvement on HD with the sdr boost config. our test is fly with the stock config/FCC config to the farest distance until rc or hd drops to empty, then re-enter dji go with config to see how the signal change. 

can you provide the firmware version you use?

I m on .0200 and go4 4.1.3

Im indeed hesitant on using sdr cause the mentioned heating issue.

In the stock CE system the "HD" link is stronger than the rc signal. So when the RC is boosted to FCC, the range will increase until the HD signal in CE mode becomes unusable. This might indeed double the range.

The question is: when a flightleg is flown in CE mode and HD is observed to drop to 1-2  bars, when flying the same route in FCC mode, is the HD link proven to be stronger (3-4 bars)?

In my tests the HD remained unchanged.

Im on android.

Is there actually any proof out there that also the HD is better/boosted? 

Field test shows no increase of HD signal in same conditions.(LoS, unobstructed, little interference, non congested area.)

the configs file will do exactly the same as my mod, just a different way to activate the feature. This is not the thread to discuss the config files, please move to the correct thread then, such files are around for a long time (32ch mod etc.). 

IF it does not increase the power of your aircraft but only of your remote it is designed this way by DJI and you cannot change it with the config file either.

Crystal clear, thank you!

what you mean is the DJI.configs file, yes it should work, also on iOS. Difference is that this can only do a limited range of parameters, but if you only want fcc without the rest this should work for you, if you want the full package aka no fw upgrade check etc, then you need the mod. 

Thanks.

Problem is that the 4.1.3v5 (or any of the previous versions)do not increase the bird's power, just the remote! 

Was also wondering if the configs file can be inserted in the v5 version without further impact.

as far as i saw (but have not looked reall yet) i did not see any GMaps integration. I said before: I think if DJI removed GMaps they had a reason for it most likely it is more expensive than here maps. To use Google Maps inside an 3rd party application (like DJI Go) you need to have an API key, google will bill you for requests then, so IF i add the whole google maps stuff from an older version to this version i would force DJI to pay for the increasing Google Maps use. I don't think this is ok, so i will not add google maps back. 

For login, go a few pages back, create a patchfile yourself from the posted code and test it ;) I hope @artu-ole will find time to finish his patch an push it to the git. Same goes for @shax i hope you found the values to make the textbox editable and push your patch soon :) 

 

Best Regards

There is a patch file in another thread here that if, placed in one of the go4 folders, it enforces FCC mode as well.

You have an idea what the difference is between this and what you've done?

Im pretty much a digilitterate, just trying to find a good solution for us "common" crowd having range issues.

Thanks.

I downloaded that file, but when unrar it, there is only Readme.txt, nothing else.

It's a small "hidden" file. Just select "show hidden files" in your file manager.

I dont know how to Edit thread but the previous config might affect update url for dji product. A safer version is here

https://pan.baidu.com/s/1bP0CX4

How is this different to what's already in the 4.1.3v5 version (FCC default)?

Also, does this also boost the mavic side (HD)?

Thanks.

I will measure the bird transmition power with and without FCC mod tomorrow. Will share the results.

Would be great if you could share what device is used to measure. Thanks.

Wow! That is really freaky. 

Ok, we do not know the specifics in this case but still creates the necessary paranoia!

Yep seems that only the remote signal is increased not the video downlink :( 

 

Maybe the app has to be started BEFORE the remote/bird is booted OR....

The bird determines output power based on GPS location/other logic  bypassing the disabled checks by the modded App. Maybe...

As far as I see, the FCC mod just allow you to use the FCC settigs for transmitters, instead of CE. Both of the modes (CE and FCC) are standard for the any DJI copter and should not cause any overheat. In stock App and firmware FCC could be disabled based on the GPS informaton. To be sure that your device works in FCC mode just measure the RC and drone's transmition power. Will do such measurments tomorrow.

I should have been clearer, sorry...

Increasing output beyond FCC (and overheat) is indeed a different subject.

Im just interested for now in the FCC mode the 4.1.3 enforces.

Does this really increase output to FCC in both the RC and Mavic?!

Also when it comes to measuring output: Is this as simple as that? Or is the system increasing TX power as signal gets weaker up to a maximum to save battery?

Just a bit of info. I installed the latest version and really like the improvements! But, the ability to disable the Here maps does not work anymore. I was using this method;

https://madsrc.com/2017/01/22/dji-go-4-get-google-maps-back-on-android/

Now when I do this, it does show google maps as the provider but I get no maps or imagery. It is just blank. Kinda sucks but I can deal with Here crap maps to get around all the other crap. Strange that it still worked with the previous version. Maybe google looks at the app version before deciding if it will allow access?

Oh, and it is interesting looking at all the services for the Go app.

I have not tried the latest app yet. CE mode has been a pain from the start!

Can it be confirmed that the FCC mod in this latest 4.1.3 also gives FCC output to the Mavic downlink (HD?)

Im just curious cause there's talk about increasing output power (and fear of overheating remote) but the weaker part is the Mavic downlink. In my testruns using 4.1.3 where CC had to be inserted manually (single click) I could not convince myself that mavic downlink was actually better than CE mode.
