General Discussion / Suction mount advice
« on: March 07, 2024, 02:16:42 pm »
Does anyone have experience using the six suction cups that come with Rosetta? Do they stand up to the test when it’s warm. They are quite fiddly to get off the window (I move between aircraft)

Alternately, using 1/4inch camera thread - what suction mounts have people used with success, i like the idea of a single twist lock style one but they all seem to be large or come with an arm that’s too long.

General Discussion / Igrid v SafeSky

These seem to be very similar - what are the pros and cons / do you get the same capabilities.

Technical Support / Software upgrade and ghosting
« on: August 27, 2022, 06:25:37 am »
I’ve upgraded to latest software so I can take advantage of Igrid.
On the first flight yesterday I was getting regular ghosting.
Do the upgrades mess up the hex code?
Can some look at the log file if I send to see what was going on?

General Discussion / When will we get a mobile app?
« on: August 22, 2022, 12:14:49 pm »
please please please can we have either a mobile native app (ios and android) or have a mobile optimised version of the admin pages? specific things that would be useful:

1) quick way of muting and unmuting audio
2) more user friendly radar page

i find the current pages difficult to use on an ipad never mind a smaller screen!

Technical Support / IGrid and phone reception
« on: June 21, 2022, 09:26:41 pm »
I assume there’s no publicly available information to show phone reception by altitude. And for a bonus overlay this with existing ground stations coverage.

Technical Support / IGrid in shared aircraft
« on: June 21, 2022, 09:24:41 pm »
Any ideas how one is supposed to use iGrid in a group aircraft - does the network config page have ability to save multiple hotspots to avoid having to change it every time?

Technical Support / API spec for config pages
« on: April 02, 2022, 01:41:38 pm »
Is there an API spec or a way of emulating the config pages for a PAW unit?

I’m think of knocking together an IOS short cut that sends a http post request to change settings on the PAW unit. Specifically things like setting volume or changing range.

Would be nice to develop this at home without having to extricate my PAW from plane p

General Discussion / Mute Audio options
« on: March 18, 2022, 08:57:10 pm »
I know it’s been discussed before but PLEASE can we get an easy way of muting audio alerts?

I have the audio plumbed straight into my intercom which is awesome. However pre departure it’s a PITA. I don’t want to have to plug/unplug cables.

My solution at the moment is to have the config screen open in a browser and to dial down volume and then set it back to 11 after take off. But it’s not ideal.

What would be nice is an super light weight App (on a more general point the Ux of the web app / radar screen is awful).

This light weight all would have four buttons
1) (re) set my Standard Settings for audio and range
2) Mute All (with perhaps a periodic “beep” to remind me it’s all muted
3) Ultra short range (for use in circuit)
4) link to take me to radar screen in browser (until a proper app is created :) )

General Discussion / How to mute audio
« on: October 08, 2020, 12:13:35 pm »
My setup - PaW Classic with audio fed into intercomm. Display on Skydemon

There's a thread running on the Skydemon forum on the same issue - the amount of audio alerts.
I think its a BAD idea to mute audio alerts in the circuit - surely that's where you'll find lots of other planes!

However, it would be great to have the following options
1) No audio alerts when you're "on the ground*". Rationale - if i operate from an ATZ environment i'm happy to have a quick glance at skydemon but audio warnings over OTT during takeoff
2) Reduced audio alerts when in the circuit. I think its will be impossible to do - how would PaW know you're in the circuit. But my nirvana here- if I've set PaW to alert me on traffic in 10km - that's useful for the cruise. But not so much for a circuit. Like wise if there's traffic 2000ft above me in the circuit, I'm not immimently worried about it.

* speed < 20kts AND AGL<100ft for example

Technical Support / Best antenna location
« on: October 07, 2020, 09:06:38 pm »

i fly a PA32 - what's the best location for the two extension (horn) aerials? the Rosetta box itself will be in map pocket on P2 side

Locations for two horn antenna:
1) at the bottom of dash on front windscreen, both next to the centre pillar
2) at the bottom of dash on front windscreen, but one on 1 further left nearest P1 and one further right near P2
3) as (1) but at the highest point of centre pillar
4) as (2) but at the highest point of the windscreen

finally - what about the GPS mouse

General Discussion / Why no ADSB ( again )
« on: October 07, 2020, 08:55:12 pm »
I really don’t understand the business case for not supporting ADSB, having read the article on the PaW site.

https://pilotaware.com/Documents/PilotAware%20and%20ADSB.pdf

It sounds to me, if you had an ADSB module:


  • People would pay extra for it.
  • You’d pretty much put to bed the “Flarm v SE v PaW debate"
  • It would probably expand the adoption in the rest of Europe
  • With a bigger user base it would accelerate user base but also lead to broader adoption (hopefully) of ground stations
  • You’d get browny points from the regulator, CAT, ANSPs (and infringement team )
  • And because your product is modular, the ADSB module can be ripped out in 5 years when the regulator actually produces a format which doesn’t saturate the freq band


It soooo frustrating  :'(

Technical Support / Feature request: Pause traffic audio
« on: July 26, 2020, 09:40:03 am »
This might sound counter intuitive - but is there a way to pause traffic alerts (audio)

During high workload on final approach (IMC) it can sometimes saturate my brain power.

If there was a way to pause traffic audio or perhaps reduce it to just an beep/chime that would be tidy

Technical Support / Help diagnosing false positives
« on: July 25, 2020, 11:15:14 am »
first post covid flight in a while yesterday and was seeing a lot of false positives (looked like bearingless mode C).
is there a set of steps i should follow to check why i was seeing these?

the call signs seemed to be odd too - ST11, ST12.  I was near Stapleford at the time - are these student call signs? Neverthless they were defineyly false positives to the point where I wanted to pull the plug as it was distracting

General Discussion / Please support a Skydemon change - Weather
« on: June 02, 2020, 07:52:33 pm »
I've posted a feature request on Skydemon forum that will add capability if you have PaW and want weather in the future. Please can you post on the SD forum to support this?
