[QUOTE="Ophidia Snaketongue, post: 35990, member: 4719"] The firmware makes no difference to the range you're allowed- that is controlled by the app, which sets the decibel rating of the 5.8 bandwidth. I use the fcc, OTG cable and .0900 firmware. It feels like a really solid setup. The only crashes I get are occasionally on quickshots- but I get those on the 4.1.22 app as well. I'd say that 800-900m is pretty **** good, actually. That's about what I would expect from the Spark. I know the official documents say 2km, but that is only achievable in perfect conditions. Playing devil's advocate here: why do you want to go farther than 900m? That's far out of line of sight as it is, and I feel you're risking losing your drone. If you're using Android, your drone will always connect on 5.8 when you use a wifi connection to your phone, because Android phones can't/won't receive 5.8 band wifi signals. Therefore, the remote controller defaults to using 2.4 to communicate with the phone, and 5.8 to control the drone. Hence the need for OTG in Europe. [/QUOTE]
