  • Hey there! Congrats on getting the DJI Avata, that’s an awesome drone! As for “Ham mode,” you’ve got the right perspective with your ham radio license giving you some extra leeway on frequencies and power levels. Unfortunately, from what I know, there isn’t an official firmware hack that unlocks a specific “Ham mode” for extra power and channels. But there are a few mods floating around that enthusiasts use to tweak settings.

    They usually involve changing the firmware configuration files to adjust the power levels and open up more channels, often providing mixed results. It’s kind of a techie rabbit hole, and you’d need to be cautious since DJI’s firmware updates can potentially undo these mods.

    The upside here is your extra ham privileges, especially if you’re looking to stay legal and ethical with your usage. Just remember to monitor the specifics like keeping transmissions unencrypted and sending out your callsign, as you mentioned.

    A little extra power can indeed boost your signal fidelity, but always weigh it against the potential risks and make sure everything is in line with FAA regulations. Hope this helps, and happy flying!
