Just made myself a couple of 1/4wave whips for permanent installation on my aircraft.

Ive just tested them and the performance is outstanding.

Thanks for that.

It will be next weekend before I get chance to have a play.

Thanks again.

Thanks Peter.

That’s all very clear.

You mentioned about some help with the configuration of the TT21.  What exactly is required?

Again, any help gratefully received.

Hi Paul.

What I don't understand is that, they are only 2off USB devices connected and 2off USB ports are free , so why do 3off show on the home page.

Also, is there any way that you can tell which port the info on the home page refers too?

Definitely only 3off USB ports showing on home screen.

Hi All.

Ok, so I have taken the plunge and I have bought a Rosetta. All configured and working correctly. I wish to connect the Rosetta to my trig TT21.

I have ordered the FTDI USB lead to allow me to make the connection between the two devices.

I appear to have 2 spare USB ports on the Rosetta but only 3off show in the configuration page.

So, which port do I actually plug the lead into and and which port does that refer to on the configuration page to allow to me alter the settings?

Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Thanks for the info.

Aircraft is a Skyranger. I'll have a trawl around and see if I can find others that have posted about installation details in the same aircraft type.

Thanks all.

as you can probably understand, I was just a little concerned about potentially degrading the reliability of my navigation setup.

I was aware that the TT21 can be fed the GPS data. I had plans to actually feed this info from the GPS296, but it may be simpler/more convenient to supply this info from PA.

If I proceed, I would like to make the installation permanent.

As my aircraft has the mode S TT21, how do you prevent PA from "seeing" your own aircraft. i.e. do you end up with 2 overlayed aircraft on SD? (your own GPS position and the mode S/ADS-B return)

Does anybody have any photos of the antennas installed permanently on the aircraft? i.e. the PA Tx/Rx antenna and the ADS-B receive antenna?

What about range? My TT21 is 50W output form memory. I note that the PA output is only 500mW. this must have an effect on range but I am assuming that as so many people are using PA it cant be too much of an issue.

Sorry for all of the questions, I am probably just better buying the kit and "having a play"

Hi all, newbie question:-

I am considering purchasing a Pilotaware setup, but have a few queries before I commit.

My current setup is:- Skydemon on iPad mini with bluetooth Garmin Glo GPS. I also have a trig TT21 and Garmin GPS296.

I opted for the Garmin Glo as the accuracy/reliability was assured.

I am correct in thinking that if I installed Pilotaware then the positioning information reported to Skydemon would be from the PA GPS dongle as opposed to the bluetooth connected Garmin Glo?

I ask because whilst all of the features that PA offers, I really do not wish to compromise the accuracy and reliability that my current Skydemon / Garmin Glo setup currently provides.

Thanks
