Technical Support / Adding own encoder output to radar sceen

« on: September 07, 2020, 03:12:04 pm »

Hi

Just a small enhancement request.  Would it be possible to add the aircraft's own encoder altitude being broadcast as a quick way of checking if the encoder is out of adjustment?  Older mode c units don't show it.

cheers

Technical Support / Connecton adaptor for SDR dongle

« on: August 11, 2020, 12:45:56 pm »

Hi
I have a classic and need an adaptor to connect the cable to the SDR dongle.  I ordered a SMA female to SMB male plug Adapter converter connector x1 F740254K off ebay (264598542869) but it seems a little large to go into the dongle.
Anyone know the correct adaptor please?

General Discussion / Incorporating a power supply?

« on: September 10, 2015, 04:06:36 pm »

Hi

This project is a great idea. Thanks. However it seems that the cost of a Rf interference-free power supply is greater than the cost of the pilotaware, which may hinder its success. In addition my understanding is that certified aircraft owners need expensive approval paperwork to fit the charge4u.

Would it be possible to incorporate a psu within the pilotaware?  I cannot imagine that the parts cost of the charge4u excluding the case exceeds £20.  Even better, of the pilotaware had a power out socket to charge tablets/phones etc some pilots might buy it just for the charging capability and the TCAS would be a free bonus.

Just a thought.
