I appear to have fallen into the same trap - or worse!
As Pilot Aware Hardware had no stock of the Classic, I ordered a bridge and the Pi2B from Amazon.
Amazon parcel arrived this morning (Sunday) containing a Pi3!
Is the software for the Pi3 going to be available soon or should I send it back and demand the Pi2B which I ordered?
We are evaluating the PAW system for fitting in our (6) aircraft. One of our members, Chris Mills, has kindly lent me a pair of Pi1 based systems to get started with. Our prime objective is more to track our fellow pilots on fly-outs than find conflicting traffic though that will be much appreciated too.
I am experimenting with all the obvious aerials as the relatively low power of the system suggests that this is the most promising improvement area for more consistent results. Counter-intuitively, using one of Chris's units (like a Classic with standard aerial) in the cockpit has so far given more reliable results in my metal Bonanza than our wooden Robins.....
Hopefully more aerial trials today.
