Hi Lee

Really getting into the TRK breakdowns....furthest return today was 23km....So I guess that confirms there must have been some sort of issue with the previous Bridge..

Anyway I was following a flight just now and I know the owner of the PAW but was wondering what he has done in his setup as it was returning two sets of data....Pictures enclosed if that makes sense.....I have noticed a few other aircraft PAW equipped doing the same thing. The entries are in green at the top of the traffic table. First it reported it as GNULA then a hex code on the SkyDemon. Has he got the wrong transponder hex code in the PAW


Thanks for all your previous help with the Bridge.....as always a complete star !!

Kind regards

Brinsley

Hi Brinzlee

It looks like he is ADSB and P3I equipped, BUT, using different ICAO codes
In fact, his transponder is set as 123456, which is most definitely wrong.
As far as I am aware, all uk codes are allocated as 4xxxxx.
This would explain 2 aircraft shown, I presume the PAW code is correct as it
Begins with a 4

Thx
Lee

Hi Brinz,

4A276F isn't the right Hex code for G-NULA either.... and if as per G-INFO the aircraft is a CT2K microlight, I don't think the CAA would be amused at it squittering ADSB with the wrong ICAO code and a SDA level of 3. If you know the guy, perhaps a discrete word about his transponder / ADSB and PAW settings might be appreciated. Unless of course there is something else very strange going on.

Regards

Peter

Thanks for the info.....I have just dropped him an email......I thought his days of low level illegal arms dealings were all behind him now.
He's a naughty boy....

[Admin]

Actually the code 4A276F could be auto generated, rather than manually entered
As Peter says need to check what has been entered on Transponder and PilotAware

[EricC]

Very few RX over the last week.
I wonder if anyone has any range information?

Thanks.

[exfirepro]

What kind of information are you looking for Eric?

I'm guessing you already know about ADSB - up to well over 100 miles depending on your location and antenna position.

Mode S - depends on what range setting you have selected in (Config), but I have seen well over 50 miles in 'Testing' though couldn't run in that setting for long without unplugging the audio.

P3i up to 26 Kilometres in clear line of sight, but P3i is easily attenuated by buildings, aircraft body construction and big bags of water (aka - People). Unfortunately, operating from the ground you are likely to feel the effects of this more than if up in the air and need to optimise your receive antenna type and position. In practice, I have found P3i consistently reliable at up to around 10 miles - which is far further than any of us can see, but this can be subject to the vagaries of individual installations.

Keep up the good work.

Regards

Peter

The distance from the ground  to aircraft.

The P3i Tx aerial is outside on house roof with a clear view of the sky
so be interesting  how far away it has been received.

Mode S and ADSB are no problem.
