I was looking at my telemetry stream and notice some packet drops in MP's console window. I see a number of CRC failed packets as well as 'lost'. That got me wondering--is everyone experiencing similar drops (especially the devs) on a normal scale: 50ft distance, LOS, etc..?

I wanted to get an idea of robustness of the Xbee link compared to other means of wireless telemetry (e.g. bluetooth) mechanisms. So far, what I've measured is about a 7-8% packet drop over 30mins indoors, 25ft Rx/Tx separation--which sounds a bit excessive (was expecting 1-2%)... going to check my xbee settings. MP's GUI appears to be running just fine though.

Try lowering some of the telemetry rates. The new 3dr radios are much better
