When I originally raised this, I was using port 2 (Lower left) I then changed to Port 1 (upper left) and can't recall the issue happening since.

Probably not, it's inside and I was just getting the info that Jeremy requested. I assume the log only starts once a GPS signal is found?

OK, so I have powered up PAW on my desk maybe six times or more since bringing it home, no new logs? (Not using SD, just the browser from my PC)

OK, so those are reboots.  Anything different about the 6 and 9 August when it only booted up the once?

Hi Jeremy,
6/8/19, single flight, no problems
7/8/19, I rebooted a couple of times as we were getting interference on the radio and wanted to eliminate PAW as the source
9/8/19, rebooted on finals, but I did not 'Go Flying' again in SD and I think it only creates logs if you actually fly? (Have done several starts at home and no logs are created)

I am wondering if you are onto something with the landing lights (even though they are LED's). The aircraft is in use by another user for the next two weeks but as soon as I get the chance I will test both using the #1 port on the charge4 and using the landing lights
Many thanks for your interest

Running the latest version of software, I assume you have to be looking at the status at the exact point of failure?

Hi Jeremy,
Please see attached, the flight outlined in black, rebooted while taxing, the red and blue towards the end of the flight, both on the downwind leg (these are the ones I am sure about)
Thanks
Andrew

Hi Jeremy,
I have the track log files but cannot upload here due to type / size. I can put on drop box?
Thanks
Andrew

I have flown over 18 hours in the last week using PAW to power SD so there must have been a GPS fix (plus I have a screen shot taken at the same time as the others showing 14 satellites   )

Ahh... so the settings on the Radar screen are overridden by the PAW configure. I assumed these (configure settings) only effected the output to the likes of SD etc and that the radar screen would apply the filters set on that screen?
Thank you.

Hi
PAW / Charge4 only powers up with the avionics master switch which is not on until after engine start. We do have landing lights, they are LED units so should be less than standard bulbs but may be connected with the problem

I will use port 1 and see how that works

Thanks

Hi Jeremy,
Thanks for the quick reply, The PAW unit is plugged into the lower left socket. On at least two occasions, I know it was the only thing plugged into the charge4, The most it has ever had plugged in is the PAW and an iPad4

(Would I be better using the top ports?)

The PAW is in the aircraft but I will retrieve it tomorrow and get the logs

Great unit BTW

Thanks
Andrew

(would still like comments on the UPS solution)

I have a PAW Rosetta 'semi' installed with internal antenna kit and powered through a charge4 unit (permanently installed, not via a lighter socket) and using the original USB cable.

Despite all this, the PAW does occasionally reboot. I suspect this is power related as it occurs during low RPM (taxing, finals etc), this then causes SD to disconnect. I have never seen the LED on the charge4 change but then I have never been looking at it at the precise time the PAW rebooted. I know its rebooting as I get the young lady saying 'pilot aware'. The aircraft has a lot of electrical equipment so I can understand that the voltage my just drop too low for short periods.

I have read many post on this subject on the forum about battery back up etc without any conclusive solution. I have found this product which I believe may be the solution:

https://juice4halt.com/products

Would this fit inside the Rosetta case?
Can the script be added to the PAW software?

Looking forward to your comments / suggestions, I am happy to buy one and test if the developers think it suitable

Hi
This is my first post but I have been lurking for some time
I am very impressed with PAW and have owned  a Rosetta for over a year but for various reasons, have only just used it in anger. It has the latest software installed.

On a recent trip around Europe I never once had any traffic appear on the Radar screen. I am setup for 3D (I have read the instructions  ) and I know this is only applicable to the UK. The attached screen shots were taken in France but I have the same blank screen in the UK. You can see that the PAW sees loads of traffic but even with the radar set to max horizontal and vertical limits, nothing is shown on the Radar? Does the Radar screen only work in the UK, if so I find it hard to believe I was the only one flying (it was detecting OGN stations)

Using an iPad 4, tried both safari and chrome, cleared the cache

Am I missing something?

Thanks
