I recently took a long cross country, I picked up a pre-built stratux new off Amazon to use w foreflight. I had connection to towers less than half the trip... West of the Mississippi hardly at all.
my friend has a Stratus 2, and he flew the same trip.... he lost reception only a short time while flying low across the plains... This was very frustrating...
I tried positioning it so antennas were by the sky lights and for a while tossed it on the dash.
Neither spot seemed to change much.
I’m considering returning it, but before I do that I’m wondering if anyone has any insight that may prevent the need for that? Do they just not get as good of reception as their name brand brother?
