Hi Peter,
Excellent news and great to see OGN-R coverage extending further up the West coast.
I now see your station PWMorecam showing up fine on the map on glidertracker.org This shows you are correctly registered on the OGN APRS servers. If you touch on either end of the PW station name it gives information of the software version, CPU temperature etc. If PAW or Flarm/ OGN tracker equipped aircraft fly within range they will show up on this program and you will see their tracks. In “settings” for the glidertracker program I generally set Select and Track to 12hrs so I can see who passes by within that timeframe.
You can use the OGN range tool (via the OGN web-site) to show cumulative coverage for your OGN receiver by typing in Morecambe or by touching the station symbol on the map of the range tool web-page, and similarly, PWMorecam to get the PAW coverage. It may take a week or two for sufficient coverage data to accumulate dependent on how much traffic passes within range.
The Upgrade instructions, that you will have followed, list various diagnostic pages, ognpaw:8080, 8081 and 8082. These give a wealth of info regarding radio performance but is very technical and may not mean a lot to you in practical terms.
The 8082 page lists real-time reception of Flarm and PAW contacts and whether a rebroadcast of the Flarm data actually takes place. Unfortunately this info doesn’t get saved so unless you happen to be looking at the page when a rebroadcast actually takes place, you will probably never capture the event! At the foot of the 8081 page you can select short or long listing of aircraft that were detected including GPS coordinates.
I went and flew near/over my station in the Eurostar with PAW when gliders were aloft, and within range and in this way it was much easier to prove the system worked satisfactorily as I saw the gliders/Flarm traffic on my Nav program display, as well as the ground station symbol.
I hope this helps.
PS. Just seen Exfirepro Peter’s response. As he says, no licence needed as we are using a licence free band in the radio spectrum.
