Yes,that plus 1 inch of the gray is exposed.

I suppose you should call Spektrum tech support next. I've got nothing left for you aside from trying a BEC. My past range issues were caused by broken antenna's (clear, unshielded portion at the end) or weak batteries.

[Beaux]

I'm already running a bec. Thanks for trying. I guess tech support is next, again thanks.

Up date on the DX4C. We were going to small lake , they quit selling day passes, so we went to a friend's camp. There we have about 100 yds across and a good 1/2 mile either way.
So I eased my MM 2 out and tiptoed along the rivers edge. It went for at least 200 yds. and never missed a beat. So I'm guessing the lake had some type of interference.
The DX4C worked great.

Mmm, this is not the first strange interference on certain lakes. Perhaps something to do with those planet grid lines? J/K. Well glad that worked but crappy about the other lake if it is your local spot.

Have you(or anyone else) tried another radio at that lake ?

[Beaux]

No , I tried a flysky was my first radio, and it messed up at the same spot. So I thought hmm, junk radio. Well my new DX4C did the same thing.
Having to go to the river was a blessing . Got a nice deck and a fan in the summer. The other place was getting to small for the speed we were running.

Not impossible and I’ve seen it happen (with cheap 2.4 gig radios), but still odd. How is cell phone coverage at the pond? Near an airport?

[Beaux]

Never tried my phone, about 15 miles from a military type airport.

There's a pond I used to frequent and it had a dead spot. Never failed, I went into that area, boat stopped. There's another area in my big lake I run it. I avoid it, works fine. Heck you can see in some of my videos where it cuts out.

Mine just pooped, went with the 5. my DX3C still works and my 4 was used a lot less. electronics, must be a Ghost in The Shell.
