thanks - and I note one has to select 'Go Flying' on SkyDemon plus the FF feature in PilotAware is useful if you want to
speed up the replay of the flight by x2 x4 etc.

Technical Support / PLAY function on 192.168.1.1 Track Page

I cannot find anything about this feature. When I press PLAY (relating to a track I have flown) the background of the button turns
red and nothing else happens ?

lee,

Thanks, I have a lot to learn but I have learnt something.

Glad I have bought PilotAware and looking forward to your location service for Mode S traffic

I am based at Shoreham and I have spoken to the local OGN station at Southwick about the OGN-R possibility.

Peter,
Thanks again for your response. It is dawning on me of course the size of the problem with mode C.
However and this maybe because you don't fly in the South East  there are a lot of GA aircraft getting a basic service in a very large G class airspace, the whole of the South East actually where aircraft taking a Basic service from Farnborough Radar have unique squawk codes allocated in G class airspace who are never going to go into controlled airspace.  So there are areas of the country were something easy can be done and the codes are specific to that LARS area. You do get aircraft flying in the South East with the VFR squawk code not taking a service never the less a mode C aircaft with a unique squawk code is surely trackable. Why not have a go with the codes Farnborough Radar West,East and North use that get handed out all day long in sequence.

Here is another new user and my question. What is the port next to the power port on the Rosetta device ?

Peter,
Thanks for your reply.
To simplify my problem here is an example. A radar controller tells a plane with a mode c transponder to squawk say 3666. When the pilot applies this code to the transponder the squawk appears on a radar screen as I understand it.
Surely then even mode c transponders must transmit this code, and possibly it could be a unique number which no other
aircraft is squawking. It is worth keeping this info and even reporting it so a pilot can infer that the threat aircraft might or might not be on the same frequency.

Hi,
Can someone please explain why the 192.168.1.1 Traffic page cannot show the SQ for mode C aircraft ?
Also how is the reg of these aircraft sometimes shown in the righthand column along with ft? and pwr?
the latter two items (ft and pwr) usually looking like junk.

Sorry if I have missed the explanation of this elsewhere.

Hi, Just an update on mode c/s. There is still an impasse today between SD and SE2 on bearingless targets
