Hi Bob D
Great - I am at Gamston this week - Wed Thurs and Friday and will be at ALH Skytrain with Tony Hather.  Maybe my unit was faulty so it would be good to see a full working unit

Cheers

Thanks for all the comments received and appreciate them.  Some comments are negative and understand that we do have our own experiences. Thanks to the fellow Scotsman !!!!!! I have given POW lots of my time and enlisted support whenever possible.  I love new technology and so willing to give everything a chance, demonstrating POW to fellow aviators, just to be disappointed and embarrassed that my enthusiasm for the unit was not fulfilled.  It took a long time to take the decision to return POW and the company even suggested that the unit may be faulty.  I felt that inevitably its return was made through a question of safety, rather than staring at my IPad in flight hoping to see a contact, I was safer to look out the cockpit Windows.

If anyone who has a POW and willing to demonstrate to a group of pilots I would organise the visit at Gamston Airport, Nottinghamshire.  EGNE. and perhaps its use would be appreciated.

I have recently had to return my Pilot Aware and am disappointed that the unit was unable to attain my expectations.  I have had a full refund and very happy with the service that I received from the company.  The website promised that "Use Pilot Aware to know where everybody is located". As I was only able to identify Commercial Airlines and as a GA pilot, this only gave me information that was irrelevant. Pity really but I am sure that it has a future.

Thanks for your response.  It has been a little frustrating and comments from colleagues like " Flight Radar 24 " is a free APP where aircraft from around the world can be seen in real time. Hasn't helped my quest to push PAW.  I do support new technology and am always willing to keep an open mind.

Thanks Moffrestorer
You have confirmed what I really felt but wanted to remain positive and give PAW the chance that it deserves.  I am a GA pilot who flies all over the country and having spent time at my local busy airport testing PAW and enthusiastically introducing it to my fellow aviators, only Thompson flights were indicated.  It is early days and I hope I that GA aircraft will become suitably equipped so that I can use it as the safety feature which I had anticipated.

Thanks to everyone who has posted advice.  I have spent hours going through all the information and made changes where necessary.  Unfortunately I can still only see information from airlines which would be well above my normal ceiling of two to five thousand feet.  Can any users perhaps suggest where I must be going wrong. ??
Thanks

Thanks Eric, but as a new user what exactly does this mean.  I understood that I would also receive mode C  TX from transponder equipped aircraft.  I have used my equipment at my home airport (EGNE) but only see large aircraft approaching Doncaster ATC. ?

Just getting used to my new Pilot Aware and at present can only see Airlines. I am using Air Nav Pro, do I need to change anything in the settings of ANP.
Thanks
