Flew this afternoon and no repetition of the above. GPS locked and stable. Will keep monitoring.

Hi Lee,
Not sure of which GPS it is but it is installed with a good view of the sky. I never thought to look at the home page tabs to see what they were showing but I assume what is shown on the nav screen would replicate home page tabs?

I'll check the GPS lock next time I start up and see what I can report. Below a fuller picture from a video albeit a bit furry. GPS Signal Lost banner showing on tablet, and GPS tab amber on telephone used as radar screen.

Technical Support / Rosetta Slow GPS and Odd Radar Screen Info on Start Up
« on: February 02, 2024, 05:35:22 pm »
Evening all,

My Rosetta has been very slow to acquire full GPS on the last couple of start ups on Jan 30 and Feb 1. Was probably the same on Jan 7 but can't remember. Main nav tablet has a banner saying 'GPS Signal Lost', phone used as Radar Screen has orange tab for GPS but displays some very odd information which has been identical on both occasions. Link to photo of screen below. (Would post photo directly but not able to make small enough somehow)

Any ideas?!

Have sent the trackfile link through

Settings are definitely as they should be but interested in any other reasoning for the issue. Flew very briefly the other evening having fitted a different cable and replaced the headset batteries just in case. Had a couple of verbal alerts so it does work. Will try the original cable again but can't believe it would carry usual terrain alerts etc but not the traffic ones. It may be some sort of tablet glitch that I can't easily replicate

This will show if the alerts were generated by the Rosetta. If not, Rosetta settings, if yes, then an SD problem.

Lots of speaker alerts visible on the trace. Closest aircraft was further than I thought at just under 2nm and 300ft below but while initially travelling right to left was then in front of me same direction for a bit before I changed heading. If all the speaker traces are things I was likely to have heard then I didn't. Very odd

Good idea. I will retrieve the sd card when next at the hangars

Hi Tony,

I had both the aircraft in question displayed; on the tablet in Skydemon screen as displayed contacts on the map with height information relative to me and with registrations showing; on the tablet in the PAW radar screen as red squares; and on a separate android phone used only as a PAW radar screen as red squares.

As far as I can remember all the data displayed on the two devices matched up but I was pretty much eyes out looking for them so can't be 100% sure if any discrepancy or not. The fact that I visually acquired neither makes me wonder though. One at same level was apparently crossing behind me so was concentrating on the one in front which was showing as 300ft below but again I couldn't see it. EDIT to say I've looked at a flight tracking app and this one I referred to was a very small grey helicopter so no wonder I didn't see it!

All the alerts for terrain, airspace, entered runway etc were fine.

Yes have tried that but much prefer the cable. Volume is much better than bluetooth

When I say I can't remember them exactly I mean when sat here at home as the Rosetta is in the aircraft. However I went through all the settings when I landed the other evening and again the following day and can see no reason that audio traffic alerts aren't being generated. I will delete SD from the tablet and reload it I think. Will also replace the 3.5mm cable though it is carrying all the other SD alerts to the headset.

No all volumes are up full tilt as usual and getting audio alerts for everything else on Skydemon

I'm sure you are right Graham. PAW is obviously working as it should and indeed everything in it's current format or settings has done for ages. I'll try the SD forum and help too. I'm tempted to delete and reload SD from the tablet to see if that helps.

Was airborne Wednesday evening when it became apparent. Connection tests since have been on the ground in flying mode or Skydemon simulate.

Samsung tablet connected via WiFi to Rosetta, then 3.5mm jack cable from tablet to headset control box (Lightspeed Zulu 3). Can't remember the exact PAW limits I've set but they have been unchanged for the last 2 years at least, ditto the tablet. Evening before last I had several contacts visible on tablet and phone screen including two in the red, one 300 below and one same level but somehow the tablet is not generating the audio alerts for traffic despite being set to while producing audio for everything else. Also using mobile hotspot for Atom Grid information and again not changed any settings on there since I set that up.
