Hi Lee and Keith,
I recently happened upon Keith’s March 2020 update on Building an OGN-R station, entitled “ Building an ATOM Station” in the OGN section on the PilotAware.com website.
Page 23 of the paper references the need to request the unlocking of 360Radar data so that MLAT targets will display on the VRS. I sent the email and it was quickly acknowledged and MLAT data was now being displayed in addition to ADS-B, PilotAware and Flarm traffic.
Fast forward to Monday of this week. Superb WX and everyone and his dog seemed to be airborne. For once in my area, there was a lot of traffic to observe. I must congratulate you both and the whole PilotAware/ 360Radar team on the superb ATOM GRID system that you have all developed. With my iPad connected to the IP address of my OGN-R it was displaying just about everything with any form of EC for a decent radius around my home location. The whole package, including the traffic page, showing details of traffic data uplinks to PAW equipped aircraft is simply stunning. I am so impressed!
A question: I noticed a fast jet, a Hawk T1A, enter the area medium/ low level, details of call sign, ICAO etc flagged next to the breadcrumb track. It didn’t seem to be listed in the traffic list, so I was unsure what type of EC it was emitting but presume ADS-B or Mode S/ MLAT. Are you able to confirm that if not logged in the traffic table (maybe because it’s a “military target “), the ATOM GRID may not Uplink this data? Not sure whether it’s EC would have been detectable direct air/air? I have screen shots if you are able to investigate.
Thx,
Chris
