Peter

sorry so slow in responding

Altitude setting for bearingless targets was already at minm 500'.  I have reset range from short to ultra short and the problem appears to have gone on my trip henstridge to lundy and return today although I supposethat I need to fly in a more traffic intense region to be sure.

Aerials are side by side across the boot cowl with separation of 19inches

I will give a confirmatory [ I hope] update  after a few more flights

Yes - looks good coverage from both.

Haven't had chance to check hex code on device but I assume coverage from vector shows this correct.  Will do so this week.

Beginning to think I really had multiple a/c above and below within 500 ft and seeing none which is rather alarming!

I installed external aerials on my champ over the winter and have adsp out on my transponder using the paw gps. Since then  I have been plagued with what I assume is ghosting. I did not have this with internal aerials.   I get multiple danger warnings/red circles  giving heights above and below in rapid succession.  Warning frequency seems to drop/disappear when am remote from airfields/strips  and I am wondering whether it is assocaited with proximity to atom stations.  I am as sure as can be my device is configured correctly and have only one a/c on my skydemon.  Any advice or suggested investigations welcome.

Technical Support / installation in a tiger moth?

« on: March 04, 2021, 08:55:54 pm »

just acquired a PW with external aerials planning to install in a tiger moth.  We have not found anyone else who has made such an installation. We were planning to install aerials in the forward floor of the front cockpit.  I have just been reading in other posts about relection and obscuration associated with undercarriage legs.  The tiger moth alighting gear is a bit of rats nest of metal tubes -see attached.  Am I likley to get a reasonable performance with the aerials just behind the forwrd sloping radius rods or are we wasting our tim?

I hadn't but i did and we were good to go.  i had assumed that this was a setting which did not need resetting on every start up.  Thks
