Most likely, you have RTK turned on and are not receiving corrections through NTRIP.
If you live in a state with free RTK corrections you can use that. Or you can pay for a service such as Trimble, Point One or something similar. Point One most liekly has a free trial if you want to signup and test your aricraft.

I live in conn. 2 miles away from mass, I signed up for a gov. one i can't get the drone to lift off, If I take the mod. off it will fly but only if i reboot it.

Are you sure you are receiving corrections?
Do you have FLOAT or FIX?

Do you have previous experiance with GNSS receivers? If so, it is very similar.

The RTK module works like a terrestrial GNSS unit or a rover.

When you signed up for the free RTK corrections, they gave you credentials to access the system.

You must go to the RTK menu page in Autel Explorer.
Turn on RTK.
In RTK Connection Options, choose Custom Network RTK.
Fill in all of the fields with the credentials you were given.
For Mount Point you may have to contact the agency that gave you access to get the name for a dynamic mountpoint that will automatically choose the closest mount point to your location (using GPS/GNSS on your drone). Or go to the map for your NTRIP account and find the mountpoint that is closest.
Look at the RTK Network Status and see if it says Connection Failed or SINGLE, FLOAT, FIX.
FLOAT meaning you are connected but not at low cm accuracy and FIX meaning low cm accuracy.


You will need an internet connection to the controller.
