Hi Peter,
Thanks for the reply. The settings I was using were:
Mode C/S Separation: +-2000ft
Mode C/S Range:Long Range
Mode C/S Select:Mode-CS(Beta)
That said I am testing in Windowsill of house in a residential area so I'm sure there are lots of reflections etc messing with the signal. Looking forward to testing properly in the aircraft
P.S Thanks for pointing out what Filtering does, I was going to ask.. Will remember to set that when I go flying.

Received, many thanks
Left the PilotAware running all day yesterday in my Window with Zaon MRX on top and tablet on my desk to keep an eye on traffic as I worked. Really impressed with the results so far! The MRX seems to have better range for C and S traffic but the Pilot Aware seemed to give better relative altitude readings. Looking forward to going flying and testing properly!
Keep up the great work.

Hi Lee,
Any updates on the key? I have just tried entering my Mac address again and still getting the same error.
Many thanks,
Chris

Hi all,
Just to follow up on this, I have been so busy with work that I totally forgot to return the unit to David to take a look at. The good news is that I have now sourced a new PI2B and having plugged everything in it seems to work. (With a trial key obtained from licencing website)
The bad news is, because I have a new PI2B the MAC address isn't recognized when I enter it for a 1st year system key and therefore I cannot get a full key. I have just emailed David regarding this but I am not sure who the correct person is to handle this? Ideally I either need my new MAC address added to the licencing database or for a key to be provided. Happy to PM mac address over if that helps.
Thanks,
Chris

I get the same 0v lead issue when using the Anker or the Samsung 5v 2amp plug->usb, so don't think the Anker is the issue. (But oddly I can charge phone if I use the supplied lead from both Anker and Plug)
I have just heard back from Dave who has kindly agreed to arrange a replacement. Will get the unit back in the post today. Will be interested what he discovers.
Thanks again for the help

Hi Lee,
I have just tried Anker again that now gives me 5.13v at pp1 and pp2 with my lead. 0 with supplied lead. 0v at pp7 so polyfuse has def gone and doesn't seem to be showing any signs of coming back to life.

Ok another update. Decided to give the usb lead that came with my Galaxy S7 a go, instead of the supplied lead. Interestingly I am now reading 4.97v at PP1 and PP2. If I read at PP7 however I am getting 0v, confirmed by testing either side of the PolyFuse. So now getting some power but looks like the fuse has gone...

Hi Peter, I have removed all connections from the board, including the bridge. Testing voltages at pp1 and pp2 I am getting 0v so it looks like there is no power getting into the device from the usb power port - it is not loose on the board/no obvious signs of damage.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the reply.
The model is"Anker PowerCore 20100 - Ultra High Capacity Power Bank with one of the Most Powerful 4.8A Output, PowerIQ Technology for iPhone 7 /6s /SE, iPad and Samsung Galaxy S8 / S7 and More (Black)"
I have just got the multimeter out.. Getting 0v at pp1 and pp2 on PI from both the Anker and the 5v 2amp plug to usb
(Using SD card case as ground) so not drawing any power at all

Just to add have left for 3-4mins no activity. No noises, no lights.
Have tried removing the board from the case entirely, can't see where led's should be - but no lights coming on at all on board when power plugged in.
Lead tested with other device and works fine. Do I have a dodgy board?
Interestingly, I bought one of the recommendee Anker power blocks. If I plug phone into it it charges and blue lights come on on anker. If I plug into PilotAware it does nothing and no blue lights on anker

Hi all,
Have just received my PilotAware, followed instructions to plug all the bits in (minus screwing case on) have tried to power up but nothing seems to happen. Have tried from pc usb output and then from samsung galaxy s7 usb plug (which can do 2.0 amp output) I am using the supplied lead. Any suggestions? There isn't an on button is there?
