Technical Support / Vector analysis keeps getting better and more detailed?

« on: February 21, 2024, 11:57:14 am »

Every year I measure to check improvement or degradation over a period of time. Normally this has been in respect of antenna position. I’m really happy with the results for my aircraft as you can see.

In the Pilotaware Vector training information and video the more recent enhancement of the ability to see RX Direction (Bases or Rosetta) potentially enables further fine tuning to be made. Though again, I think I’m doing well on that point too.

Using the Vector analysis tool I can breakdown the reception of signals. Several aircraft at our airfield rely on Fanet + and one SkySafe cellular. Clearly I receive data from the Fanet + via an uplift from the data captured by the airfield’s Atom Station and relayed through P3i. And in the case of the SkySafe cellular through the cloud and relayed by the Atom Station or direct via the cellular network using my phone and the Pilotaware WiFi module dongle.

My question is. Is it possible to breakout these derived inputs in the same way you isolate CAP 1391 and PAW inputs and thence display on the Vector analysis?

General Discussion / Mixed community and SafeSky

« on: August 13, 2022, 08:48:58 am »

Installed an Atom station at my home airfield of EGCA. Working successfully for nearly a year now. Really pleased with the performance. 9 home based aircraft and 1 helicopter all use PAW. There are also 2 home based nano microlight using Fanet +. We also have scale radio control aircraft and scale drones (The scale aircraft stop flying when full size fly)

Recently we had a new nano microlight arrival in the hangar. The owner is planning to fit a PAW later this year. However at this time he is trying to make do with the SafeSky App in his mobile phone. He asked if we could test his current SafeSky conspicuity in the area covered by our Atom station. His nano is super slow moving and hard to spot in the sky with mk1 eyeball.  The existing home based nano microlights use Fanet + and generate a strong signal. However our Atom station didn’t display the new arrivals SafeSky sourced image. Though oddly live.glidernet.org did display the new arrival.

My question is, generally speaking, assuming the SafeSky is programmed effectively and is in line of sight of a the cellular network, ought the fast moving aircraft all equipped with PAW (some with dongle, some not)  see this SafeSky nano and others similarly equipped?
