  • @Don Glad to hear you’re enjoying the Spectre Pro! A few things can cause the LoRa side to drain faster than expected, especially high transmit power, aggressive telemetry intervals, or heavy...

  • Thanks for reaching out! If the Relay powered on without the antenna connected, it can sometimes affect behavior, but it doesn’t always mean permanent damage. The Bluetooth drop you’re ...

  • I just bought a spec five relay, but it was sitting out in the sun with the solar panel hooked up. The guide says not to power it up and tell you've connected the antenna, but it looks like it had ...
