Technical Support / Re: Rosetta not working after software upgrade
« on: February 15, 2021, 02:31:39 pm »
Good news! I bought a replacement 1090 dongle (Nooelec NESDR Nano 2 from Amazon next day delivery), and that does seem to have fixed the problem. The 1090 status is now mostly green but occasionally orange as expected. The power status is usually "volt=OK" and "Thro=OK" although I have seen "Warning" a couple of times. I have tried the old and the new software and both seem the same.
The only odd thing is that when I first tried it, the GPS status seemed stuck on orange for at least 10 mins even though it could see satellites:
"RX=1455(+27) Fix="No fix" Mode="Not Available" Sat=0(use)/14(view)". It did this over several reboots. I then tried removing the 1090 dongle and the GPS then worked fine, and it was still fine when I put the new 1090 dongle back in (powering off each time). Of course I had to remove the GPS dongle to get the 1090 dongle in and out so it could be just that it wasn't quite in right, although it seemed quite secure.
Anyway, it seems to be working solidly now, I just need to try it back in the aircraft next time I am able to fly.
Thanks for all your help. I've certainly learned a few things about how Pilotaware works.
