Hi Lee

Just making sure you were able to access the .trk files via the link I sent in the threads above.

Dear Lee and Peter

Using the same numbering as my (5 points) post of 17th Sept at 11.12am

3.      I now attach a Dropbox link to the 2 x .tck files so hopefully you can work out why I appeared
         on one and not the other. It is a link as they were too large to upload:
         https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kozrns9lgjqksmr/AAAiY4qcE86HzoIPOBwGbTWGa?dl=0

4.      At 13.55 on 8th Sept I had just landed at Plaistows after a short flight from Elstree, some 4
         miles to the south. At 14.29 when the second screen shot I posted was taken I was still on the
         ground at Plaistows. Not sure there is an OGN aerial anywhere near either

Many thanks

Gary

Dear Lee and Peter

Many thanks to date for on going advice:

1.  Firstly the good news is my plane does not ever appear on Sky Demon as a second image.

2.  It seems to me (unless I am misreading or overlooking something) that my HEX is correct and not
     incomplete.

3.  I will download the .tck file when I next go to the hangar (likely in the next few days if not today).

4.  Noted possibly OGN-R is sending details of "me" to me. I will check where I was at the
     time the  13.55 hours snapshot was taken to ascertain how near I was to an OGN-R aerial and
     report back

5.   Re the upgrade, (to only have to unscrew 40 access panel screws once to get to my built in PAW 
      ) , I have been waiting for a licence Key from PAW. Can I get this now to do upgrade and
      licence Key together (I got PAW at end of Sept 2017 and saw something about the Keys are send
      out around 2 weeks before renewal).

Hi Lee

1.     I now have the Configure page as pasted below. The correct Hex code is there. I confirm it always has been there. So... that leaves the
       question as to why I was showing on my own PAW Traffic screen taken at 13.55 hours before I flew (but only as a letter "G") but then not
       showing on the same PAW screen after I landed at 14.29 hours. These two traffic screens appearing in the threads below where I pasted them
       on 11th Sept?  Presumably I should not appear at all?

2.    I am also hoping you can shed light on why this 13.55 hours PAW traffic screen only shows me as a "G" not "G-NILT" and why the "Mode"
      column shows CSAP not CSAPF and notwithstanding I assume I should not be on it at all?

Kind rgds

Hi Ian

See two pages pasted below (1) Home Page and (2) Configure Page. Are either of these what you needed?

Technical Support / More Traffic Screen queries on PAW

« on: September 11, 2018, 03:16:24 pm »

Hi

Firstly, I paste below 2 x different screenshots of my PAW Traffic page. Any idea why on the top  screenshot, it shows my own plane at the very top (highlighted red) and on the other screenshot below that, my plane is missing?  I assume it can't just be random. I also assume it is not meant to be showing my own plane anyway. They are both from 8th September taken at 13.55 and 14.29 respectively.

Secondly, is the below screenshot with the red showing what other planes see from me?  If so, then why isn't my full reg showing under the Reg colum (just a "G"); why isn't there also an "F" in the Mode column even though I am also transmitting Flarm and why does the last "Aircraft, Owner" column just has dashes instead of my details?

NB:  My set-up is Sky Demon with Pilot Aware Classic and a Flarm Classic mouse (made by LV Nav) plugged into the PAW. I also transmit uncertified ADSB through my Funke transponder using the GPS from a Kanardia Horis 57.

Any advice much appreciated.

Noted and if I save to Dropbox then how do I play it back on Sky Demon?

1.     Thanks for clarifying. I was indeed playing back a Track and not aware playback shows as an "F". I guess I will have to live with this as it is not feasible to disconnect the SDR dongle as all wired in behind my Console (my master switch also switches on the hidden PAW).

2.     Is there any way to play these Tracks back at home, rather than having to be next to or sitting in the plane to be close to my Pilot Aware unit. I can't seem to download these Track files to my iPad but can email them as attachments.

I attach a screenshot of my PAW Traffic page just after I landed yesterday early evening. Any idea why so many commercial jets only show an “F” under the Mode column. I thought that meant Flarm?

Ok problem solved in that the other pilot did have different Hex codes and he has now corrected it. I checked this on my Sky Demon and indeed now showing him without the duplicate. However, he thinks a PAW upgrade may have reset the Hex code, as he was confident he had put the correct one in both his transponder and PAW?

I’ve asked the other pilot to check his Hex is the same on his PAW and ADSB and will report back once I hear from him.

Technical Support / Seeing PAW and ADSB from same plane

« on: August 19, 2018, 06:58:06 am »

On an impromptu 6 x fixed-wing microlight fly-out on Friday, myself and one other had PAW and ADSB out installed. We both use it via Sky Demon. The problem was I was seeing two of him, almost superimposed on top of each other and each with his same call sign. It would seem I am therefore receiving his PAW and ADSB as two separate planes? Thoughts on what one (or both) of us need to do?

Ian  - noted with thanks but by actually having Flarm means the gliders may see you, and also in a non OGN area you may still see and be seen by gliders.

NB:  Re a ground installation, I fly out of Plaistows just off junction 6 of the M1 and west of St Albans. We have the Luton zone to north and Heathrow to south. As such have never seen a glider venture to our vicinity. The nearest gliders are based at the London Gliding Club on north west of the Luton zone but they are already covered by their own OGN.

Technical Support / Flarm mouse

« on: May 08, 2018, 07:23:05 am »

A 9 month old spare Flarm mouse was going at less than half price so I bought it and just yesterday  added it to my (excellent) Pilot Aware set-up. This was primarily so gliders can now see me, but also to pick up gliders when not in an OGN area. I use Sky Demon.

1.   The Flarm GPS spends most of time saying zero satellite fixes unlike my Pilot Aware GPS extension mouse which had a more or less perfect record at fixing on satellites. Having looked at these forums am I correct in thinking I can simply re-plug in my Pilot Aware GPS extension mouse and Pilot Aware will automatically use that for GPS and ignore the GPS on the Flarm mouse?

2.   If I am in an OGN area I assume I wont see a duplicate glider (one from the Flarm and one from the OGN) but can anyone clarify?

Technical Support / SOLVED: Sky Demon - connectivity screen query

« on: November 20, 2017, 06:19:21 am »

The Pilot Aware manual states Sky Demon should be set to "Live Data When Planning". I see Sky Demon also has the option "Live Data When Planning And Flying"

Does it matter which one to choose and what is the difference?
