Xbee 900 Pro Range issues

Hi all

 

I recently switched to Xbees from USB comms with my APM.

I had to use X-Xtu to get them talking, and all is working 100% on the testbench.

 

Mavlink now connects much faster than usb.

 

Went to the field today and had some problem getting them to communicate farther than about 150m.

At less than 100m it works GREAT.

 

Any ideas why such a  short range?

What should I be looking for/tesing?

 

 

thanx in advance!

Wessie

    You'll have to tell us more. Are you using the official telemetry kit? If not, what antennas are you using?
