neighbors. To ensure a stable connection between them you need to check this
with a dual test
• At this test we should receive almost any packet. A cause for lost packets could be:
- A bad connect between dual test partners (Value is in the yellow area)
- The position of the commander is unfavorable (Value is in the green area)
- There is a radio interference (Value is in the green area)
