Important Update - New Firmware Fixes HAM For CE Users
With the release of the new firmware V01.00.0300 for the Avata 2 DJI have fixed the HAM file behavior in the CE region.
Now the ham file behaves as it did with the Avata 1 and O3, It gives FCC power, FCC Speed and full Manual Channel Selection.
There is no longer any need to purchase any 3rd party apps for the full FCC mode in CE regions.
Where I show in this video that there are 4 modes that is now incorrect and there are just the original 3 that are CE Mode, FCC Mode and Ham Mode.
I have created a new chart that is linked below on my Wiki and I will be making an updated video in due course.

Today was the first time I had a closer look into your fpvwiki.
This is fpv platinum!
Everything in there, and what a great clear overview! Thank you so much Ian!
Weird, I added the Ham file to my newly aquired avata 2, it did unlock the manual selection but i cant make it go any faster than 60km/h, anyone else tried it?
EDIT : turns out i needed to format the sd card, can confirm speed unlock and extra range
@@pedrocosta4807 Have you installed the new firmware V01.00.0300 over the DJI fly app?
One thing is that I was using the Avata 2 to fly indoors in normal mode too and now after adding the Ham file the GPS signal is way too weak / non existent to keep it in one place unless I am right next to a window... This is pretty sad for me as I am using it to film real estate (super slow, dont want to do it manual) as well as speedy manual fun outdoors.
Does anyone else experience this difference in GPS signal?
@@atkatsom8745that’s a bit of a worry, surprised the ham file affects gps like that
What I like most about what you do Ian is that you interact with your followers. We all have burning questions and you take the time to offer answers. I like that a lot. Also thanks for this update - I'll be doing it today and look forward to a bit more RF. I'm in the UK. Lee
I've had a few "burning questions" but I gave up on it, he never answers. Probably because I'm German hahaha xD
@@WildpixFPV ha ha
The biggest benefit is the full power of the motors and you can check it easy with motor power output. Without the hack you must stay around 50% throttle to hover in manual mode. In Ham you only need 20%. Thats the easiest way to check If the ham file work!
thats a tremendous tip kind sir! Ive heard of that but then forgot about it and you reminded me!
Thanks you so much for this video. Unfortunately for some reason it has not worked on my avata 2. Do you have any idea what the reason could be? New updates blocking it maybe?
@@ChrisHeeney-ki2bqis it by using the dji remote 3 or the motion remote? I think it is always limited in the second one
that's why throttle felt so weird compared to sims
The range and penetration for mid range flying is absolutely phenomenal. I live in a small town with 3000 people, right in the middle of it and while laying in bed I can fly a full circle around my self, being 1500 meters away. As long as I stay above 30 meters or so. Except for a bunch of spots where the signal has to travel through less buidings. There is a school 600 meter from my house and I can be down to 7 or 8 meter and still have 3 mbit left. As a matter of fact, I have done some 100 flights while laying on my bed and there where plenty of occassions where the video quality went down a lot and the bitrate went to 1 mbit but I have not lost signal a single time. I usually just fly straight up when bitrate down down to much.
The Goggles 3 and avata 2 is the ultimate fpv-noob-who-never-wants-to-worry-about-anything flying experience.
Thank you so much for the info. CE mode is even dangerous when coming from FPV because the Avata 2 ascending speed is less than 1/3 than its horizontal speed, the balance between the two speed domains is broken. FCC mode restores that !
Wauw! This works amazingly well. Normally when I fly behind some trees that are like 80 meters away from me, I always get picture loss. Now, with that file installed, it's just normal picture. It's so much better at distance and with penetration through buildings. Thank you Mads Tech!!
Finally a video explaining how to make the file, I’m in a fcc region so almost got everything, but extra channels sounds good
Grande,sempre sul pezzo, complimenti.
Hats off to you Sir!!
hoooly, thats like a punch when you first feel the boost in speed and accleration.
the startup sequense with googles controller and drone was the thing that made mine go in to fcc. i didnt follow the sequence at first and i was still in ce mode.
Thanks for sharing this "mod" i may be fine with this drone for now, i was relly in to bying a real custom fpv but i think i can wait now :)
Brilliant, Ian. Nice work. Appreciated from a casual flyer
Since O4 nature seems to be very dynamic, it would be very interesting:
1. Does the ham cfg hack increases the power all the time no matter the current link quality or only if it is needed, i.e. when the aircraft is away, just like mobile phones work?
2. Does it noticeable affect the battery life?
3. Does it increase the drone temperature?
Just think about it, all the answers are logical
@@AlexMansilla95 logic (wish) and reality are completely different things
Nice job.
Wish they have this thing a tighter tune for manual mode, and a throttle expo tab.
100%
Hi thanks for all your help and I can say that the hack does give you more penetration
Also the return to home when lost signal dose turn around and retrace it’s step till it reconnect even turning 90 degree’s also I have seen the wobble when it starts to return to home
What do you mean by giving you more penetration?
Pretty interesting indeed! Thanks, Ian! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
How does it affect the warranty? In the theory, it is "only playing" with law regulations, but not the drone possibilities itself. In my opinion it should not make a change and do not void the warranty nor care refresh, but any other opinions on that?
this video is absolutely perfect. Fantastic work.
you are a legend sir!!! Absolutely love your work!! 😃 Any chance of uploading the file and sharing the link in your description? Mac users would appreciate, including myself 😃
Did you watch the video? Just make the file yourself.
@@kael13 need to get a program for mac :D
@@exclusiveaerialsyou can remove file extensions on a Mac. Pretty sure. Or any free text editor.
@exclusiveaerials, there’s a link on his previous video :)
@@ramco91 haha just save it as a text file, theres nothing in it !!!
Thank you for this . VERY much appreciated!
Fantastic video. Just done the Ham Hack and it worked perfectly. I can also now change the channel settings to which I wasn't able to do before. The only one thing that I have found is that I don't have the 5.2G band, I only have the 4.2G and 5.8G. Is this normal? Also what band and settings would you recommend on using? I'm in the UK as well, so I'm in CE mode. Thanks for the great video
I concur, after watching your video saying it wouldn’t work and losing signal behind a bush 80m away i thought f”£k it, nothing to lose. Bam, instant improvement, signal does not below 50mb, before it was down to 15. Auto is still locked as you explain. I was also losing signal inside the house, now I do not lose signal indoors at all.
This guy keeps amazing me! 🤩
It's nice that you shared this info. People will not waste money of stupid mods scams
I'm in CE, bought the drone today and added the HAM file... the AUTO is now able to change to MANUAL and give me like 4 channels and other stuff....
With motion?
I’m in the United States. Will the increase RF power also if I buy the app will that increase power that’s all I’m trying to do here. thank you if anyone can answer that be great I added the hand file and I see 5.8 and 2.4 with multiple channel options
Do you know anything about the 2km range cutoff? it doesn't seem like the ham fixes it..
Hi, greetings from Vienna, Austria :-) The ham-file encreases the speed only in Manual-Mode? No results in Normal and Sport-Mode? Am i right? thx for your answers.
Also need rc controller in manual mode. Just like the original FPV Drone
I bought mine in Spain (CE), and I can confirm that after using the Drone Tweaks app and adding the file to the goggles card, I got rid of all the CE restrictions. Just tested today and I reached around 100km/h in manual mode without any issues. 69km/h was the max speed before, also in manual mode.
so you have to buy the app on Drone Tweaks to no longer have the speed limit? ( Is the hack function on iPhone ? )
@@thomasz9975 I already had the app before knowing about the file, and when I first tested the app without the file, I just got better range and penetration, max speed was still restricted. I had to install the app on an old Android 12 phone, it wasn't compatible with my pixel 6a android 14. No testing with iPhone.
@@thomasz9975yes it,s on iphone with a little process (get your udid and activate developer mode on your iphone) they have the instructions, easy)
Hi, any chances to unock 500m altitude limit ? i^m flying in the mountains and even if i'm really close to the ground can't fly above
same thing here :( this is a no-go for me.
With the new firmware (avata2 1.00.03, goggles 1.00.02), ham file hack works brilliantly, and now it doesn't matter if you start the drone or the goggles first. FCC mode is always on.
I guess the ham file thing is a backdoor left from DJI firmware developers to be used by technicians performing service on drones so they could overcome restrictions and properly test the drone no matter where they are globally.
Am I right on this Ian? 🤔
It works like charm. Thanks
Awsome! Putting the HAM file on my brand new avata 2 today.
For me as an EU user it is only to remove the speed limit! Glad the tri band stays in tact
Did you test that the speed limits is removed ? In which country? Thanks !
@@sebcbien263 i have not flown mine yet. Bought it yesterday. I am in the Netherlands
wel it wont work will it !
@@sebcbien263 France here, I just tested this today, and it removed my CE speed limit, I've noticed a complete improvement of speed. As said in the video though, i can't switch manually on frequency band, but I wasn't looking for that.
Whats the benefit of tri band ?? In 5,1 only 200 mw …
Will this be visible to dji when u sent it for dji care ?
Or is there a way to Factory reset your drone again ?
Yes that's what I'd like to know as well
@@SkyHighAerialDronePhotography Dji don't care. If you want to know for yourself just ask them in live chat :)
So you're telling me that you can remove the speed limit on the Avata 2, increase the RF output power and that it's very difficult for someone else to know that it's unlocked?
I may or may not know someone that may or may not find this information useful or not.
Hi Ian. Any chance of an updated frequency chart, including the 04? Or at least the Avata 2? I'd be so curious to see it compared to the Mini 4 Pro, but I assume you don't have one. Thanks as always!
I’m still curious what frequencies the channels map to and how the channel numbers for the 04 map to the 03 for group flying.
What about speed limit in sport mode for motion controller?
I've been searching through the comments for questions regarding benefits of choosing your own channels. I'm pretty new to FPV and it's hard to tell if choosing my own channel is good and in what way it would affect the drone. Is staying on auto best after all or why was it a good thing that more channels opened up?
DJI tinywhoop is next
I wish
Pavo20 is amazing and good enough for now till then!
Excellent video. Slightly of subject but does the ham file still work on the goggles 2 with the 03 the same as it always did. Really appreciate all your videos Ian. Keep up the good work 👍🏻
So does this matter in the USA?
Is it worth doing this if you live in China. A quick search seems that China has their own version of FCC and CE but it’s already very similar to FCC.
What do you use for Mac, is it TextEdit??
Hi Ian, great video and explanation. QQ, not directly ham file related - is top speed only available in manual mode? I’ve been a drone pilot for many years, but never dipped into FPV. I bought the Avata 2 to dip my toes, but I don’t have the time to get to a place where I’d be comfortable in full manual mode, but I’d like more speed!
Does this pertain to US too?
Thanks for this - will the CE Ham mode work with the RC2 as well.
Well done, is there a way to bypass the (slow)-motion-controller speed limit (which is ridiculous?)
This is the only solid, comprehensive and consistent information I found about this whole thing - great content, thank you!!
Now, the results I got were not that conclusive to me, still interesting to observe... here it goes: (and no, radio is not my area, I'm just a curious guy trying to understand it and play)
1) still in original CE mode, I have asked a relative to walk the street with the avata 2 on hands doing zig-zag on the blocks while I was on the balcony with the goggles: when turned the first right, signal degraded drastically as expected, but still working; and it went dark when she turned the next left - so 2 turns on the zig-zag of city blocks, with massive concrete buildings between goggles and drone, were enough to kill the signal completely - honestly, I didn't expect to be better.
2) applied the ham file in CE mode (expecting a wow result due to drastic dbm difference), and the same exercise as above: again signal degraded drastically after first turn, but it didn't go dark after the second turn, it instead kept a poor quality video at 1Mbps for much longer, could even reach the third turn.
Does it make any sense? Did the ham file actually work or I was "luckier" with the second try? Seems like the quality and bitrate between the devices degraded at the same rate, even though the ham'ed try kept the poor 1Mbps past the dark point of the un-ham'ed try for another block.
You have to arm the quad. When it´s not armed, the transmitter is allways in Low Power mode. Anyway, the Ham file dosent work on my unit. Only the drone-tweaks app
@@JNelioAbreu sorry what means armed in this context? All 3 devices were on and in synch, unsure what armed means.
@@w00dyalien propellers turning...
@@ConceptNull a-ha so it means I should repeat the same test with engines on to evaluate the real power offered?
My first question is :
I am not sure if this is still working?
2nd one is:
Is that file also changes the speed with a motion controller?
I have manual channel selection on the Avatar 2 in the uk, I'm not shure if it was there before I used the ham file.
Hello! Can increasing the power damage the transmitter equipment?
Well, it seem not only for avata 2.
My avata 1 with goggle v2 got impact.
last time I did just connect the drone, motion controller and goggle to DJI Fly APP, then the update occur automatically.
after that I try to do FCC hack but the manual menu become disable (Grey)
thank for your explanation
How do I remove the height limit?
I want to be able to climb mountains...
Hey, did you ever find out if it can be removed?
Hi great stuff buddy. Just about to go pick one up does it still work with the newest update?
with CA in europe my drone looses signal at 350 meters,and DJI says that i have to send drone for checking. or its ok with CA that it looses signal on 350 meters
So if I'm in CE region, and already have DroneTweaks app - should I also put Ham file in googles for full manual channel selection? I wouldn't want both solutions to conflict with each other.
When will dji make a small indoor type O3 or O4 drone. That would be sooo amazing.
throw away 03 ... need 04 fast now..
Great video! Is there any way to remove the height restriction?
Thanks!
I saw some other tests no real life difference. Factory settings might be the best.
Range tests are complicated. It’s also not known if was actually properly going an into ce mode as I have showed it’s possible to have FCC power with CE behaviour with the ham file. The simple realty is this. ham file and FCC is capable upto 1600mw. That’s a substantial increase in power and it’s open air real world use it’s going to have an effect. In some scenario it may be less noticeable as they have been able to improve CE with the 5.2Ghz mode however it will still help.
@@MadRCso now can we update to latest firmware or stick with the old one to use this ham file?
TYSM for this video! I recently purchased the avata 2 and I live in a CE region. Do you know if the SD card must remain in the goggles for this to work?
Did you find out?
I still keep the sd card in 😂@@japanesecactus
How do we know which channel is the best?
Does this benefit someone like myself in UK ? or is this only for if you travel to EU ?
I've just tried to apply the ham file hack to my avata 2 , is there an easy way to see of it has worked for me besides flying the drone ?
I was expecting to see in the googles transmission rates of 50mbs but are only seeing 20 ?
If I go into transmission the googles still show auto and manual mode for channels, does this tell me if the hack has worked or not ? I've rebooted both drone and googles, appreciate if somebody could advise thanks
Sorry for the question but is a new thing for me...where i can find that HAM file ?
Hi .. i fly avata2 with Integra goggles and fpv controller 2 .. i use ham file in goggles.. i have 3 channels in transmission.. but i have 16mbps transmission ..whether the drone was at a distance of 1 meter or 1000 meters.. the mbps was constantly 16
Amazing! Is this working with goggles 2 and fpv remote 2?
Nevermind! Just watched your recent video explaining it all. Thank you!
Tiny tech question, so in Notepad++ you make an empty file, call it ham_cfg_support then save it as 'all file types'
Does that mean it doesn't have an extension such as ham_cfg_support.txt ?
Yes, no extention, but it's well explained and shown in the video
Hi @Mads Tech,
taking into account your findings. Does it mean that with ham file we can switch Mini 4 Pro into FCC mode as well?
im also interested in this!
Do you think it’s even worth doing this considering Andy Kirby’s test showing the even in ce mode the avata 2 has similar penetration to fcc due to the o4 system, so Andy suggested there is no speed limit in ce mode on his drone, is the speed limit applied in the uk? Andy claims it isn’t
Range tests are complicated. It’s also not known if Andy was actually properly going an into ce mode as I have showed it’s possible to have FCC power with CE behaviour with the ham file. The simple realty is this. ham file and FCC is capable upto 1600mw. That’s a substantial increase in power and it’s open air real world use it’s going to have an effect.

@@MadRC ok thanks 🙏 what’s required to legally use the ham file?
there is no way to use it legally.
@@KnizzleHizzle ok, I heard somewhere if you have a ham radio licence you could, but looking into that it seems to complicated simply for this purpose anyway
@@Owenhumphreys0208 Don't be scared to ignore some silly slave type rulz
Seems many more real Men and Woman once roamed the earth
so my understanding is that the ham file is working just fine on the avata 2. But firstly does this works just as well with the goggles 2 and fpv rc 2?
And also does this ham file workaround voids the care refresh plan?
someone needs to upadate wiki, it says there is no support for goggles 3 for air o3 unit while it is now...
Great work Ian. I have created the file using notepad++ and have done everything as you said……a number of times.. Still no change though to top speed or anything else. I am in Spain so a CE region. Any thoughts?
Tell us more details plz, e.g. do you test with RC3 in manual mode?
@@berniepb3075 Hi. Thanks for replying. I have test with both controllers and I get the same speed restrictions in normal and sport. I go to the settings and set to max speed. I have not tried Manual mode because……I am too scared at the moment!!!! I have had a few drones but never fpv. If I get some altitude and change to manual and it all goes wrong, do you know if I can flip back to sport or manual and the drone will recover? If so, happy to give it a go
@@Glenn-Reviewsyou only unlock the speed limit when using manual mode. So you should learn how to fly manual :D when using the Motion Controller or normal mode and Sport mode on fpv Controller 3 you dont benefit from the hack
@@Mojo97779 hi. Thanks. I am learning manual mode but it’s tricky with no flight sim that will work with the new controllers. However I have tried getting some altitude and then trying them flicking back into sport to save my ass!!! Little by litttle. I have the smart controller 1 with my Mavic Air2 so I might me able to use that with a sim.
@@Glenn-Reviews the fpv Controller 3 do work with simulator. For example it will work with liftoff. Just look IT Up, there are tutorials online in RUclips. I recommend trying simulators before using in reality. For me i needed Like 2 hours practicing in simulator. Afterwards i was able to controll fpv in manual in reality aswell. Its cheaper than destroying your drone in the First time ;) Happy flying
Thanks for this work ! 🤩
If I think…
I just need create file
ham_cfg_support
Import in SD CARD Googles and turn on googles in first, Rc, and drone ? It’s ok ? :)
Does the modification in CE work with the latest DJI goggle firmware?
Ya
Ok, done everything as You said, Thank You👍👍👍
I did that with controller 3, So now if I want this hack to work also with my lovetoy, do I have to power off everything, and turn on again but this time with motion controller3 (lovetoy3)?
How do you do this for both the controllers? Do you just power up the Goggles then the one controller and then the drone and then turn them all off and do the same again but using the other controller or is it once you've done it the first time you can't then make it work with the second controller?
Oh and also how did anyone ever find this hack out?
Thanks.
in which folder i put the file guys, as when i format it i get 2 folders
Do you have to update to the latest firmware on all devices (dji avata 2/dji fpv remote 3/dji goggles v3) before the ham file works?
How did you measure the mw output? I sm surprised to see such a huge gap between CE and FCC mode
Hey guys ! Does CE + Ham file removes DJI care warranty ? Thanks in advance
nope..
Does the ham file void any warrenty with DJI? Or void the care refresh plan?
When do think if at all will manual selection be worthwhile/needed to choose FCC+Ham instwad of CE+HAM?
For performance reasons during power loops etc. or perhaps in known enviornments where one will penetrate better more reliably in heavy congested area or perhaps mainly long range on flatland, instead of Auto mode?
Or is Auto mode good enogh if not better with how well it switches between 2.4/5.8 and also able to use tri band and therefore fcc hack is not really needed/beneficial?
Andy Kirby made some good test demonstration where CE auto mode was either performaning same or superior at times as it seems. 🔥🔥🔥
Range tests are complicated. It’s also not known if Andy was actually properly going an into ce mode as I have showed it’s possible to have FCC power with CE behaviour with the ham file.

As for Auto vs manual there are situations where Auto will be better and others where you really need to force it onto a specific channel to avoid it affecting other devices. Auto will be best for most users.
Yeah Like your thorough review / testing, appreciate the reply. Could you kindly explain in what situation manual would be preferable / beneficial?
I also realise there is a difference in the performance during flight characteristics / interference or obstacles during the flight journey and finally at max distance, not easy to stress test everything i guess, the max distance being the easiest and tbh.
(Btw. Bit surprised I haven't seen the max distance tests done with simply switching at the max distance location and comparing at different heights to take VLOS into consideration. That's what I tested last weekend and at first glance didn't see a huge difference).
guys, ham file stopped working for me recently, does it work for you?
Today I updated the drone and the fcc file does not work. Has anything changed with the update?
What is the sequence of steps?
@mads tech - have you ever done DJI goggles with ham file hooked up to the likes of a mini or air. Does that affect those drones in any way?
Ham only works on DJI FPV products.
Min 11:44, I'm on CE region. I don't have "5.1" frequency before or even after putting the HAM on my Goggles. I can have multiple channels after the HAM file installed but no improvements in range. I also used the FCC app, no range improvements.
5.1 is not available as a manual selection, only 2.4 and 5.8. The 5.1 is only used in auto.
@@MadRC Whats the benefit of tri band ?? In 5,1 only 200 mw …
Hello, I'm new to all of this so apologies for the silly question... is there any downside to using the ham file in CE region? More battery usage??
No it won’t affect flight time.
Hi Ian, its good to use Auto Mode then? Let the google 3 choose the best range and freq ?
For most users yes.
Does this still work or has it been patched by DJI? I'm thinking of getting an Avata 2 in the near future in Europe.
does it change anything with the latest firmware update?
As I stated in the pinned comment it now works as expected.
@@MadRC you rock

Ham file doesnt wotk atall for my avata2. what may I did wrong?
Dji love toy 😂
Can anyone help me out? I just built my first 03 build after a handful of vistas. The signal is really dropping off after a few hundred meters. I'm using the stock 03 antenna and the iflight patch and stubbys on my v2s. I really don't like the g2s. I'm in the Netherlands and I've tried the ham fcc hack but the goggles won't release the extra channels. I tried changing firmware but still it won't accept the ham hack. I'm sure someone here will have the answer to why the hack isn't working. Thanks in advance. P.s I assume because the 03 antenna is linear and the goggles have lhcp antennas that this will affect range but it doesn't explain why the hack won't take. Cheers all.
Does the SD card (with the ham file) have to remain in the goggles for this to continuously work?
No you can format and remove it no issues. The only things that will stop it is A: updating the firmware or B: resetting the goggles
very good overview and explanation Mads, just one question regarding the ham file, do we need this file all the time on the SD card in goggles or it can be removed ? I mean is this file read/loaded only once and then it is valid until we reconnect the drone to DJI app or update the firmware... ? I am asking because it is good to know if one can format SD card each time prior flying or we can not do so if the ham file needs to stay on the SD card all the time in such a case I can only delete/empty video file folder ... thank you in advance!
Need to keep it all time. It gets it every time you start goggles
@@matty.dronesMad confirmed it can be deleted afterwards in the video.
@@TheDroneNerd yes. sorry. but you have to always run your goggles and radio first. than drone. every time
It’s a shame there’s no way to tell if it’s active. I added the file a few days ago and I’ve not noticed a difference.
The way you turn in on also makes a big difference. First headset than controller and then you can turn the avata 2 on. Otherwise it is in ce mode. Hope this helps
@@sennastas5995 Thats exactly what I do anyway.
@@DAFlysAre you testing with RC3 in manual mode?
@@berniepb3075Rc3 yes. Not tested range in manual just sport mode. I may have to reset mine and see if it gets worse as it’s pretty poor compared to say a mini3.

Ok total Noob to the world of sUAV and FPV. If this question is to dumb, I’m willing to take the berating. My question is if I do the “FCC/HAM” unlock I will get the “manual mode speed” even though I’m using “RC Motion 3 controller”. Will the Aircraft control characteristics change because of the mode change that is associated with the FPV Remote controller3? I just want to make sure I understood this correctly. Thanks in advance.
@poppianejo3856 Manual mode only works with the RC3, not the motion controller
