Does anybody know what is the power output in watt for fcc mode and ce mode ?

for FCC, in the US at least, I found this one, some time ago:

Frequency RangePower OutputRule PartsGrant NotesApp #
2.412-2.462 GHz
2.4 GHz WiFi
227 mW15CCC, MO2.1
5.18-5.24 GHz
5 GHz WiFi
166 mW15ECC, MO1.1
5.745-5.825 GHz
5 GHz WiFi
407 mW15ECC, MO1.2

( FCC ID 2AG6IANAFI Wi-Fi drone by PARROT DRONE SAS )

For CE, it is "a lot less", 5.8 even less than 2.4:

RADIO INFORMATION:
Wi-Fi frequency ranges for EU: 2400-2483.5MHz; 5725-5875MHz
Wi-Fi maximum output power for EU: • 2400-2483.5MHz : 20dBm-100mW • 5725-5875MHz : 14dBm-25 mW

Thanks,
But i think that are the rules of the country.
But now is the question how much power give de skycontroler.
I live in Holland that meens a max of 100mW in Ce mode i can get a range now of 200meters.
In the time i had FCC, i can get 1,6km away. Is the different of 127mW 1,4km ?
 
That doesn't sound right based on the power output to distance ratio we are getting, sounds to me like even more is going on, what makes it even more laughable is it's a European company stitching up Europeans.
 
I think, the US thing was a test, they measured the output under FCC settings
And the CE thing is the max power, in a area without any interferences.

In Holland , how wifi infected is the area, you are trying to fly?
It is not just your HP spot, also the area, the bird is flying too is in question.
Still wifi needs a slot, when others arent using the same channel (in 2.4 GHz the next 2 channels down/up are interfering with your channel).
I have experienced better connections/distances with the weaker (power output) 5 GHz band, in urban areas at least.
Even in Singapore (my avatar), where the marina bay area is overloaded with wifis, I could fly the Anafi in (assumingly) CE mode about 300m away, before it got fragile.

I live in a urban area with 4000 houses with wifi. with fcc i can 1.6km away from my backyard.this was on the 2.4ghz
now it is 200 meters and on 5.8ghz it is 250 meters.

Now i'm looking for external boosters and antenne. My eye is falling on this DJI - EvoLite Kit (Phantom 4 Pro / Phantom 4 Pro Plus / Phantom 4 Pro V2 / Phantom 4 Pro V2 Plus) by Maxxuav
I know it is making for dji but it must also working for the anafi and has 2w sunhans dualband boosters. and if it is working i paint it black :) and than is the signal problem forever gone even when i buy a new brand drone.
 
I'd maybes factor in the cost to buy that against how much you'd get selling your Anafi and adding $250 to the sale price I'm sure you would get a drone which wouldn't even need a signal booster.

I get that, but if the other brands suddenly do the same update. Then you're screwed

You may have a point there, although most manufacturers allow firmware downgrades, hubsan for instance doesn't even have FCC or CE granted it could be incorporated into their firmware at some point but they basically just ship from China and aren't generally sold in physical stores so they probably won't bother changing anything.

Wow that is a big difference between Ce and FCC. Now i can understand the range between 200meters and 1,6km

the only questions is this the wifi power on both site or only the skycontroller.
If it is only the sky controller than i'm good with 2w sunhans ampiflier

Because the skycontroller point is as far away from the drone as the drone is from the skycontroller, the performance should be the same. This is a two-way data communication.
 
(for example) DJI Spark technical data:

Operating Frequency2.412-2.462 GHz; 5.745-5.825 GHz
Max Transmission Distance2.412 - 2.462 GHz (unobstructed, free of interference)
FCC: 1.2 mi (2 km); CE: 0.3 mi (500 m)
SRRC: 0.3 mi (500 m); MIC: 0.3 mi (500 m)
5.745 - 5.825 GHz (unobstructed, free of interference)
FCC: 1.2 mi (2 km); CE: 0.18 mi (300 m)
SRRC: 0.7 mi (1.2 km); MIC: -
Operating Temperature Range32° to 104° F (0° to 40° C)
Battery2970 mAh
Transmitter Power (EIRP)2.4 GHz
FCC: ≤26 dBm; CE: ≤18 dBm; SRCC: ≤18 dBm; MIC: ≤18 dBm
5.8 GHz
FCC: ≤28 dBm; CE: ≤14 dBm; SRCC: ≤26 dBm; MIC: -
 
DJI Mavic 2 Transmission data specification:


Operating Frequency2.400 - 2.483 GHz; 5.725 - 5.850 GHz
Max Transmission Distance (unobstructed, free of interference)2.400 - 2.483 GHz; 5.725 - 5.850 GHz
FCC: 8000 m
CE: 5000 m
SRRC: 5000 m
MIC: 5000 m
Operating Temperature Range0℃ - 40℃
Transmission Power (EIRP)2.400 - 2.483 GHz
FCC: ≤26 dBm
CE: ≤20 dBm

Today I received my set of sunhans 2.4 / 5.8ghz boosters from Maxuav. Tried this right away.
Unfortunately it doesn't work. The connection dropped out after 200 meters.
For the test I used asus router antennas. with the mod app I come with these antennas 2.4 km.
That means the antennas are good
I think the problem is that you're only amplifying the controller side but not the drone itself. With a WiFi analyzer, I can clearly see the power of the drone from the mod app when I switch between CE and FCC
