Yes, I connected a lipo, imported vtx tables from akk (for some reason I can't set up the 1000mw, the max value seems to be 3 digits on the power field). I checked continuity between TBS pad on the vtx and another T1 pad on the FC, seems to be fine. dump: https://pastebin.com/eJZzty0H I'm out of ideas to try, anyone can help me? ![[-]](https://intofpv.com/images/collapse.png) • Posts: 12,099 Threads: 125 Likes Received: 3,739 in 2,836 posts Likes Given: 99 Joined: Feb 2017 Reputation: 388 Power level 3 is your max output. On your table, you have it labeled as 800 when it should be labeled 1000w. You can just run this in CLI.

Save Setting the way you mentioned, the level 3 shows 100 at the UI, this is expected right?

Hope that helps. • Posts: 37 Threads: 9 Likes Received: 1 in 1 posts Likes Given: 5 Joined: Mar 2021 Reputation: 0 Still, even doing the configuring the level 3 to 1W still not working, I still get device ready no. • Posts: 2,349 Threads: 118 Likes Received: 812 in 659 posts Likes Given: 126 Joined: Feb 2021 Reputation: 20 I recently replaced my AKK /dvr vtx... I continually “upped” the power and the signal never improved..
Dropped $14 on a PandaRC vtx and I was AMAZED how much better the signal was (and proper working order) with a proper working part.. • Posts: 37 Threads: 9 Likes Received: 1 in 1 posts Likes Given: 5 Joined: Mar 2021 Reputation: 0 (06-May-2021, 02:54 PM)Rob Axel Wrote: I recently replaced my AKK /dvr vtx...

I can't complain, in testing my video feed seems to be crystal clear at 600mw, But I need more time to test to be sure. but thanks for the input. • Posts: 37 Threads: 9 Likes Received: 1 in 1 posts Likes Given: 5 Joined: Mar 2021 Reputation: 0 Okay I can confirm that even using 1W as the level 3 still not solved the issue. I know it's not the VTX problem because I used SmartAudio before my older FC burnt.
Could this be a problem at UART1? • Posts: 1,505 Threads: 49 Likes Received: 713 in 524 posts Likes Given: 477 Joined: Oct 2020 Reputation: 93 It certainly could be a problem with the UART. There are also a number of reports of people having issues with these boards due to poor QC. If another UART does not work I'd contact the vendor for an exchange. • Posts: 37 Threads: 9 Likes Received: 1 in 1 posts Likes Given: 5 Joined: Mar 2021 Reputation: 0 06-May-2021, 09:54 PM (This post was last modified: 07-May-2021, 05:51 PM by rafareusch.) Okay guys, according to this thread: https://intofpv.com/t-f4-succex-e-f405-t...ing?page=3 Seems that Succex E F4 doesnt like SA in T1 pad (Theres a guy saying thats a Betaflight bug, he tested on emuflight and T1 works fine) . I'm not able to try it on mine atm but I believe this is the solution. Hope this helps someone that had this issue too. EDIT: Didn't solved my issue Posts: 37 Threads: 9 Likes Received: 1 in 1 posts Likes Given: 5 Joined: Mar 2021 Reputation: 0 Unfortunately I'm into another issue. I'm Trying to change channel via the push button, but the vtx doesnt seems to respond, the record button works fine. but the channel/band/power one does nothing. Am I missing something here? • Posts: 1,197 Threads: 59 Likes Received: 592 in 395 posts Likes Given: 210 Joined: Mar 2019 Reputation: 42 (07-May-2021, 01:38 AM)rafareusch Wrote: Unfortunately I'm into another issue.

Are you doing this with smartaudio connected? It varies on the VTX, but when connected smartaudio often takes control of the VTX, not allowing you to change channel or power with the button on the VTX. I have had problems at the field with smartaudio and had to cut the wire so I could change channels. • Posts: 37 Threads: 9 Likes Received: 1 in 1 posts Likes Given: 5 Joined: Mar 2021 Reputation: 0 (07-May-2021, 01:52 AM)bffigjam Wrote: Are you doing this with smartaudio connected?
