Technical Support / Re: Trouble with Rosetta in Herefordshire
« on: October 24, 2024, 11:47:05 am »
Thanks steveu for the wetransfer.com suggestion.

Lee, pm sent with link. Very much appreciate your help with this, it would be nice to understand this better. My syndicate partner and I - like I assume many others - are familiar with the occasional "waiting for device" popping up on our SkyDemon display for a few seconds, but we've not had such a lengthy geographically specific problem before.

Many thanks, Joe

I now have the track files. The two most relevant on the 11th October when I "lost" Pilot Aware in flight are chunky files too big to attach here.

The flight from Enstone to Shobdon (losing Pilot Aware near Leominster) is 14.7MB.
My take off from Shobdon (losing Pilot Aware as I climbed away in the overhead) is 1.8MB.

What is the best way to send them?

Many thanks, Joe

Thank you for those replies Lee and Peter. I’ve been away for a few days so have only just caught up with them. I’m going to the airfield on Tuesday so will download the track files then.

My software level is 20220805.

I didn’t see any gps jamming notams. Also, my iPhone and tablet were both still able to use gps.

Thanks for the prompt reply Lee.
It’s a Rosetta
404C04
11th October lost signal about midday BST between Bromyard and Leominster.
Returning East bound re-established approx 1330 BST at Pershore
I will check software level when I’m next at the airfield.

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.

Just to confirm, changed the Hex code back, flown 3 times, no bandit on my tail.

Seems to have sorted it. Thanks very much for the advice.

God dammit, you're right!

How did I miss that? (and how did it change - it's a shared aircraft, I will have to do some digging!)

Thank you Lee.

Sorry to have troubled you all with something so obvious, but I very much appreciate the support.

Regards, Joe

Thank you both for your prompt comments, which are appreciated.

Paul - I'm not running the Safesky app. I just double-checked the apps on my phone and there is just Sky Demon and Flight Radar.

Peter - I have a mode S transponder, and I think the filter setting is correct. Screenshot of config screen is attached.
        - In the flight in question I was climbing at Fenland, reasonably level at Olney, and gently descending in the Enstone overhead.


Much obliged, Joe

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?

Apologies for multiple messages, necessary to keep attachments within file limits.

Joe

....and it arrived this morning.

I think that I am sorted. Sitting in my grey and gloomy back garden I can now see some high flying commercial stuff, and a couple of Oxford's training fleet flying circuits. They weren't showing up before, so it looks good.

Thanks for the advice guys, and especially to Lee for the prompt response.

Thanks for all the suggestions folks.

With Lee's (much appreciated) help I will be trying an SDR replacement.

I'll let you know what happens.

Regards, Joe
