Query re upgrade 20190621 - Mode S 3D
« on: September 24, 2019, 04:52:09 pm »
My home airfield is based in the airspace between Luton, Heathrow and Booker. The OGN coverage charge seems to include this area in its green coverage map. However , even though I upgraded to latest version PAW, I am still getting a fair number of bearingless transponder proximity circles on Sky Demon. Should these not (unless Mode C) all now be plane icons i.e. showing a bearing as well?

Depends on whether they're being picked up by at least three separate Radar360 receivers.

Hi Gary
Mode-S 3D works when you have a direct transmission from a mode-S target that is being interrogated by secondary radar and you are in range of an upgraded OGN-r station.
If you can get to EGlM EGLK OR EGLD then you will be in range of a working OGN-R and you will see Mode-S 3 d
So as you have enabled it on the config page
Have a look at the traffic page to see what is beiing uploaded
