Latest download gives excellent presentation on Nexus 7 and I Pad of Radar display. Thanks.
Smartphone Galaxy Ace 3 only shows menu buttons top lhs and white screen.
Smartphone is target device because of panel space. Any ideas/ Anyone have the same problem?

It has taken a while to get back in the Yorkshire air.
 Been for a 1.5 hr flight with much to my surprise no sign of interference.
Relieved but baffled.
Squelch setting on radio is rather critical in clearing noise but when optimized system is fairly silent.
When troubled by noise previously the RX indicator on the screen of the Garmin 530 flickered with the noise.
Sorry I am not adding much to the information pool.
Will investigate further.

Hi SCS, JC, Lee and RC

Will try and plug alternative load into battery.
Distance RPi to com aerial about 3 ft.
Will time pulses when I visit airfield tomorrow.
Will also borrow hand held transceiver to check out interference.
Plane was from Sherburn flying near Selby.
Ferrite beads seem a useful thing to have so will get some.
Will not attempt metal package until I have ARF in final form.
Thank you all

General Discussion / Transceiver Interference

« on: December 14, 2015, 09:31:25 am »

After a short first flight with my PAW, we got very bad  interference over the radio(Set to 122.6) at a level that could not be squelched out. Interference was in the form of regular pulses. Intensity appeared to vary, there was a lot of radio traffic and sensitivity of radio changed if it was receiving a carrier prior to someone talking but in quiet periods noise pulses were regular.
To confirm that it was the PAW we removed power from it and all was good, added power and the interference return when the PAW had booted. All worked fine as just an ADS-B receiver, there is no ARF connected to the PAW. We are powering from one of the recommended USB battery. I suspect the interference is coming from wifi. Are there any suggestions on how this interference can be corrected?
Thanks

General Discussion / Re: RPi Hardware

« on: November 03, 2015, 04:13:02 pm »

As a newbie buying hardware and finding only Pi 2 at Farnell I bought one believing the backwards compatibility.
I must clearly now buy a B+ to get on with the project.
 Can I assume that the Pi 2 is worth keeping and that Pi 2 will eventually be used on the project  as it it becomes the market norm?

Or should I send it back?

Thank you for any help.

Fallen at the first hurdle.
