Mobula6 HD rssi signal went down to 12

[Johnweim]

My mobula 6 hd was working fine, now rssi is down to 12 and quad won't arm. There are 2 antennas on the board, one bare and one with insulation - I don't know which is receiving and which is tx. both seem to be solidly soldered. Any ideas?

The bare wire is for the frsky receiver, the insulated wire is for the video transmitter.

Thanks, what length is the receiver antenna supposed to be? It seems to be solidly soldered. I can understand the signal being 0 if receiver got fried, but this is just sudden reduction from 80 to 10 so the receiver must still be good?

How close is your radio to the receiver when it drops? I have found that if the radio is too close to the kwad they become disconnected. This is because the signal is strong enough for a couple hundred meters and if they're too close the receiver can't "hear" the transmitter correctly.

Think of it like someone shouting directly into your ear. You wouldn't be able to hear what is being shouted because the person shouting is too close. Same thing on your kwad.

Thanks for your reply. The signal is low when tx is near or far. video appears out too now, mob might be fried. thanks again
