It was a busy stage of flight but I recall quite a few “traffic 100 feet above or 200 feet below” with no bearing.

I have snipped the original antenna down to half length.

I suspect it may be the setting dialled up too high but I’ll check and report back

I’ll grab the logs next time I’m at the plane - shame there’s no client app to save logs as I leave the PaW tucked away!

Yeah i can remember for sure the Mode but i defiantly has Call signs reporting 100 feet above or 200 feet below

ST11
ST12
G-SLCT

first post covid flight in a while yesterday and was seeing a lot of false positives (looked like bearingless mode C).
is there a set of steps i should follow to check why i was seeing these?

the call signs seemed to be odd too - ST11, ST12.  I was near Stapleford at the time - are these student call signs? Neverthless they were defineyly false positives to the point where I wanted to pull the plug as it was distracting

General Discussion / Please support a Skydemon change - Weather

I've posted a feature request on Skydemon forum that will add capability if you have PaW and want weather in the future. Please can you post on the SD forum to support this?

hmmm...i revoke my last comment

extending a GDL may be better than supporting both GDL and Flarm concurrently :-)

I 100% agree with Tim on that one. Standards are there for a reason

so option (2) it is then?

Lee
what is your preference?
1) work with Sd to get them to accept an extension of GDL
2) work with Sd to get them to accept dual format?

how well do you know Tim D?

Thanks Lee.
Do you know in Skydemon why there’s an option for GDL compatible devices and a separate one for pilotaware. Is it because of the fact paw transmits both Flarm and GDL and Skydemon can then listen on both? This is in context of being able to receive ADL weather over GDL at the same time as all the PaW data.

What does Skydemon do differently using PilotAware versus GDL90 as the Navigation source?

I have PilotAware setup as a wifi. I've noticed I can get SD to work either using the PaW option or GDL90. Is there a loss of functionality if choosing one or the other?

The reason for the question is that I also have an ADL Weather unit which can transmit weather using GDL. So if i select GDL as the nav source in SD will I loose anything from the PaW capabilities?

Technical Support / Re: Losing connection with switching apps in iOS

« on: July 15, 2019, 03:11:32 pm »

I saw this phenomenon happen to my Co-flyer last week on his Ipad though no app switching was invoved. I, however, acheived flawless connection on my Android for both legs.

On the outbound, he lost SD connection to the Rosetta for about 15 minutes, he was concentrating on flying and it finally regained connection by itself to be stable for the rest of the flight.

On the return leg, try as he might, he couldn't get his iPad to connect on 'Pilotaware' mode. Rebooted it twice, restarted WiFi etc. He finally acheived a stable connection after I suggested he switched to 'Flarm' connection mode, after which it was faultless.

His Device:

Ipad Mini 2 32GB, IOS 12.3.1

this isnt the originally reported issue - sounds like you just lost the wifi connection entirely?

definitive response given on the SD support forum about switching ios apps to background Summary: it will not support a continued gps feed VIA WIFI if the app is put in background mode. Tim Dawson states this a limitation of IOS so not an issue SD can do anything about.

Is there anyway to "export" the configuration settings so you can reimport them onto the new install?

Thanks.
So just to be clear you don’t cut the whip in half based on the viable length of the whip, but cut it so the measure from the table to the tip is 68.9mm?
