ADS-B tuner
TangoIndiaMike:
I have my unit up and running and am currently testing it on Skydemon. I have not been able to get any ADS-B traffic. I am using one of these

I ran the new software update today and get the following results (see attached image). It says that the ADSB has failed. Should this just be a plug and play usb stick or am i missing something here?
I have one of these ordered

Hi
Here is what is reported for me
http://forum.pilotaware.com/index.php/topic,4.msg1021.html#msg1021
It looks like your dvbt dongle is not recognised
TangoIndiaMike:
So it's just plug and play? Nothing else needs configured? Must be a dodgy dvbt. Any other pilot aware units being built in Northern Ireland so I can test that as well. Perhaps a Google map that users could drop a pin at airfields they are using pilotaware?
Admin:
OK, I think you have suffered enough pain now
I have a proposal, I have about 10 known good working DVB-T Dongles
How about I dispatch one of my working DVB-T to you, and you send your
non-working version to me ?
I will then see if I can get yours working by adding some additional drivers etc ?
and in the meantime, you should be up and running with a known good unit.
Thx
Lee
