Hi Ian

We (Dominic and I) picked you up this evening Sadolin 5's i.e. your unit does what it says it should do. Dominic is going to send you some screen shots

Cheers

Keith

[ianfallon]

Indeed! Thanks guys - here are Dominic's screenshots

[thearb]

yes, with my wingman.

That's great news Ian, well done with the build!


looks like there is a 1000' offset error, I believe this is being fixed in the next skydemon release.

[thearb]

I will be in the Northants/Warks/Beds district today if anybody has a ground based unit that is squawking and want me to look out for.

[ianfallon]

Running mine again just S of Banbury, just N of Barford disused.

I was wondering why his Altitude was so bad, but looking at the trace from above, altitude is always reported as Zero

NATS ADS-B trial ?

Might be a stupid question, but how do you know it's ADS-B?

Our plane has this track on FR24, but we're not ADS-B, only Mode S...

In FR24 under Radar if it says T-MLAT then you're mode S only. It's a FR24 system that triangulates (often v inaccurately) mode S transponders not transmitting ADS-B.
