Title: Pilotaware config changes
Post by: neilmurg on May 07, 2021, 09:40:17 pm

I have a PAw semi permanently installed (ie, fixed, powered, remote dipoles, wired to audio but no holes drilled).
I'm sometimes surprised by the config when I eventually check: Aircraft ICAO code, ranges for audio warnings.

Is it because my tablet has overwritten the config with what it has used last time, or is it because someone else pressed Save on the config page (or I did without thinking)

I think I know the answer, just checking

Hi Neil,

The tablet ‘shouldn’t’ overwrite the config, unless you tell it to, but you have to be careful if swapping the device between different PAW units - especially during updating as you can sometimes get crossover from cached pages.

OK, adding 'Check PAw is on, WiFi, configured ranges, aircraft reg.'
To aircraft checklist.

The license had expired and somewhere in the process of renewing it the hex I'd got changed back to the last 6 digits of the Mac address. Unfortunately this wasn't spotted and the configuration was saved.
2nd PAw has now unexpectedly demanded a license, despite expiry date being July.
