Technical Support / Trouble with Rosetta in Herefordshire

« on: October 11, 2024, 05:00:05 pm »

Hope someone can help.
My syndicate partner flew from Enstone to Shobdon a week or so ago, his tablet running Sky Demon connected to the Rosetta lost GPS connection once he was East of Malvern. On the return journey the Rosetta couldn’t find GPS until back East of Malvern.
Today I made the same trip (same Rosetta, different tablet) and the same thing happened. West bound I lost service at Bromyard, coming back it was restored near Pershore.
Throughout the trips my iPhone ran Sky Demon connected to GPS using its own location services. I also managed to connect SkyDemon to GPS using the tablet on the return when Rosetta wasn’t able to connect.
Any help gratefully received.

Technical Support / Bandit on my tail

« on: June 23, 2022, 09:05:39 pm »

I'm looking for a bit of advice. I have a PilotAware Classic, and have found it really useful for the last 5 years or so. Last year it occasionally started to show an aircraft 0.2 or 0.3 miles behind me at the same height. If I turn or change height it follows - with a slight lag. It looks like some kind of echo.

Two days ago I flew from Fenland to Enstone. The "echo" was apparent shortly after I took off from Fenland, then stopped. It reappeared for a while near Olney, and then reappeared as I came into the Enstone overhead. I took the attached screenshots on landing.

I take great reassurance from the extra security that Pilotaware gives me, but if I could lose this "ghost bandit" I would be very grateful.

Any suggestions?

Technical Support / Not getting Mode C/S warnings

« on: January 15, 2019, 12:36:13 pm »

Hi, had a Pilot Aware Classic for a year now and very useful it was in the summer showing me the many FLARM equipped gliders that were about. I'm also happy that it is picking up PAW equipped aircraft. However, it does not show Mode C/S aircraft.

I'm using it via SkyDemon on a Nexus 7, or on an iPhone - both have the same problem.

I've been through the configuration pages of both Pilot Aware and SkyDemon and I can't see an obvious mistake.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Joe
