Technical Support / Re: ICAO HEX Code, not Callsign

Why the asterisk at the start of the hex code?

Have you tried without it?

Technical Support / Re: Permanent mounting of a Rosetta in a C42

I like to see the lights, so mine is in the panel.
The LEDs in a Rosetta are literally that, i.e inside the case, and difficult to see without peering inside at exactly the right angle, and then not all at once.

I don't really know why I have the registrations turned on. After all, it's not going to make any difference in avoiding. Turn the function off and that may solve the HEX code problem  ;D
I think there is some value, as you can link a radio call to a specific target. On more than occasion a numpty inbound on a similar track has reported a position when they’ve been at nothing like it according to the traffic display and the visual contact I may have had.

It could be that the aircraft in question has not been found on the lookup for some reason, so the box is displaying the ICAO ID by default.

And don't forget to take out the Micro SD card first.

They'll also only pick up Mode S returns if the transponder is being interrogated, or else there will be no returns to pick up. I expect Solent would have been interrogating but not guaranteed.
Even in the middle of nowhere on the ground you can see my transponder responding with the little antenna symbol merrily bllnking away; I've always assumed that's because its being interrogated by the multitudes of airliners' TCAS way above me.

Try adjusting the wifi signal level both up and down.

Have you tried retrieving your licence key from here?:

But is the traffic you are seeing being received by the bridge antenna, and not all by the 1080MHz antenna?

When receiving traffic you need to look at the Traffic page to determine the types of traffic being receive - the various codes indicate the type. Aircraft with a P or a U against them would indicate that the bridge is receiving.

It was simple question that need a one or two word answer ::)

As an aside, when I update the iOS PAW updater, it tells me that 230316 is the latest version.

Is 240417 still a beta version?

The Rosetta FX offers updates from within the status GUI if connected to the Internet.
It may do, but as a 'legacy' Rosetta user that doesn't answer my question!

Given the relative paucity of ATOM stations outside of the UK, could you confirm that the receipt of weather data was dependant on having iGrid enabled (and thus reception of a mobile signal while airborne)?

I'm trying to establish how useful this will be flying at higher levels IFR.

Just to bring this to a close - the Pi transplant worked like new on Friday when I finally had the chance to test it in the air :)

Side benefit - all the USB ports, and more importantly the power socket, are nice and snug on their respective plugs.
