Drone may have been radar jammed

[Henry Matias]

took flight at a small island with limited infrastructure and buildings. Hotel didnt seem accomodating to the drone and coincidentially 5m after having discussions it disconnected only a few hundred metres out. 20m earlier was 1 plus km out

I have .DAT logs from the phantom 3 standard, can anyone assist to determine if it was radar jammed or other. I had lost sight of the drone and after 12m of restartnig app etc.... was giving up and turned off remote then back on and as i was leaving heard it hover back over me perhaps auto returning to home.

Flew my Mavic Air at a resort in Negril, Jamaica. The interference with the Resort’s Wiffi which extended out to the beache, was like I have not witnessed ever in my flying my Drone elsewhere.
Could you have had Wiffi interference jamming the signal. Their Wiffi is quite intense to penetrate a large area of a resort. They have Wiffi repeater antennas all over the place.

Using Go or Litchi? I find Go to be terribly unreliable

It shouldn't matter.
The app you use shouldn't make any difference to losing/keeping signal.If you are having problems with DJI Go, that's most likely because you are trying to run it on a phone/tablet that isn't up to the task.

Yes - if flying in the path of a strong point to point signal - had this same experience

No .. the OP never lost GPS.
It was his control signal that dropped out, not GPS.

At the Resort I flew everyday for the week and had very little range with the Mavic Air but somebody flying the P4s had no problem. Mine because it’s wiffi controlled and there was Wiffi repeaters everywhere on the beach, my signal would be very limited in range
