Hi Lee,
I assume you are thinking along the lines of a ground based PAW listening network? Would you not have to modify the code to output the lat/lon/Alt of Airborne units, rather than the current relative position?

Cheers

Hi Ian,
the Air-Air protocol contains Lat/Lon/Alt/GS - this is what would be passed back to a central server.
The data you are referring to, is purely for a NAV device

Thx

Hi David
I returned my Bridge to the normal address in Ely on Friday and have noted it wasn't delivered by the Post Office on Saturday.....Just wondered if you had received it as I'm not sure where it is now. They said they have put a card through the door...Perhaps you can enlighten me
Kind regards

Hi JC,

Just saw a report of this on news. Just out of interest was it Mode S or ADSB?

Just come in from having a severe argument with some hardware, finally beaten it into submission...

It was Mode S, and I didn't see it on FR24.

Picked up someone today, 75 packets, nothing in the log file with a # on it.

A slight aside, the track viewer doesn't seem to work on track files since the last software update, can someone else check if theirs works OK?

Mine doesn't work either.....I did a manual search for anything with a # in the original TRK file with a text editor. Copied and pasted just those entries then Saved it as a text file, renamed it as TRK file then read it back into the track viewer and that seemed to work

Well there won't be any #'s unless they are set to the default group (PAWGRP).  Nothing today. 
When you get your replacement bridge, you're welcome to pass by here again and see if you can spot me.

Thanks for the offer....I fitted the replacement the other day.....just doing some ground checks with it at the moment....So far so good.....I had a contact yesterday 7km away....so already improved.....
So if the PAWGRP has been changed that removes the # around the registration.....Is there any other way to then test the TRK file for a P3i transmission
Kind regards
