Technical Support / GPS Lock being Lost due to Radio TX

« on: March 17, 2019, 08:16:42 pm »

Since upgrading our classic to a Rosetta we have found it prone to losing GPS lock mid flight despite the improved chip, but have linked this to being at the same time as transmitting on the radio.  We have moved the location of the PAW unit as much as possible away from the radio aerial (limited as open cockpit) which has improved things substantially, but still get occasional drop out when transmitting.


Just wondering if anyone else had experience anything simmilar?

Also if using a USB Extension lead would have an adverse impact if we stuck the GPS 2m away on the end of a cable.

Technical Support / Throttle 0x5000 - but all Recomended Hw

« on: March 25, 2018, 07:24:22 am »

Have been having a problem seeing my friends Sky Echo/ADSB signal when flying and not sure if it’s my reception or his transmission as it’s intermittent.

I could see other aircraft on Sky Demon in area but not sure if they were PAW devices and when playing with settings on ground it showed ADSB traffic when opening the range but by this time the main page no Longer had a red ADSB box and 5000 message (had been rebooted).

Using the supplied cable and Anker 20000 usb charging pack.

Any ideas what to check or how best to log in flight to track down on the ground.

Technical Support / FUNKE Transponder FW Version

« on: February 08, 2018, 03:35:33 pm »

I stupidly thought our transponder being OLED was reasonably new so would be the right firmware but have now found its only 4.8. 

The guide I found on connecting PAW to this transponder suggests v5.3 or above but FUNKE want 300 euro to upgrade.  I challenged that and they said

"it (ADS-B) does generally work but it could be in individual cases that it doesn't work 100 percent, So we suggest the Update."

So before I buy a cable just to try it and see, has anyone else been able to get a transponder on earlier firmware to work?
