General Discussion / Updates/Upgrades
« on: June 27, 2023, 04:46:25 pm »
In the absence of anything to fly at the moment (aeroplane annual inspection underway) I decided to check my PAWs for updates.  My Rosetta found a beta upgrade dated 10/06/2023.  Repeating the process with my Classic (with RPi3 fitted) it found an upgrade dated 15/05/2023.  Are there now different levels of update/upgrade for Rosetta & Classic?  Alternatively, where can I find a list of latest software releases preferably with release notes showing changes.

thanks

Ignore this, the Classic just found the 10/06/2023 beta upgrade after about 20 minutes.  Still like to know what the changes are though.

The latest CHIRP GA newsletter ( https://www.chirp.co.uk/ ) contains an item relating to use of mobile phones in aircraft and potential interference with other onboard electronic equipment (e.g. radio interference)
Have any issues been identified with iGRID during the test and validation process that we should be aware of?

General Discussion / Pilot Aware iGrid costs

"iGRID is currently free to use whilst in the BETA development phase. "
Is this indicative of a forthcoming subscription model for iGrid?

General Discussion / TIS-B/FIS-B Trial commences from Lasham and Goodwood

What does this mean? (see red & yellow forum for more detail)
Is this PAW compatible?
Is this another ATOM type system?
Can both systems (the above + ATOM) operate concurrently?

Technical Support / Bluetooth Audio
« on: November 26, 2020, 08:49:07 pm »
Tried my new (half price) Rosetta to-day using audio alerts via Bluetooth. Seems to work OK but:-
1. Do I have to "pair" the Rosetta with the BT receiver every time I use it or does the PAW "remember" the BT connection?
2. I found that the pairing process took some time and several attempts to find the receiver despite being close to each other.  Is this normal?
3. The search for nearby devices found a number (including my mobile phone).  Can I stop the PAW from trying to pair with the wrong device? (When I tap the "connect" icon, all the found devices seem to try to connect)

General Discussion / Pilot magazine September 2020

Interesting article in the above mag promoting the "benefits" of ADS-B and EC without a single mention of Pilot Aware. 
Time for a riposte I think.

General Discussion / Track file post processor

Just been trying out the track file post processor linked on the Eco Systems folder but can't find a reply or comment button.
Question, is it possible to overlay controlled airspace boundaries on the Google map to check for possible infrimgements?

Technical Support / Connector adapter
« on: February 18, 2017, 06:09:43 pm »
I have obtained a neat antenna which I want to plug in directly to the PAW (in place of the whip antenna and long lead).
The connector (SMA male plug) is different to that on the PAW.
What is the connector type used in the PAW? 
I would like to to obtain an adapter in order to be able to plug the antenna directly into the PAW.

thanks
