Just wonder whether I have the PAW antenna to close to the receive antenna. they are about 250mm apart.
IainM:
What is the approximate range you can receive one of the groundstations?
Keithvinning:
Hi Iain
Good question
On the receive side one can expect to get upto 60km. I.e. Detect gliders transmitting a FLARM or OGN Tracker signal at 868 MHz. This has to be line of sight so in most cases the further away a target is then the higher it has to be. For a good example of a site that will detect gliders at 100km look at the one at the Myndd on the OGN tracker site.
PilotAware will see between 30 and 40 Km on a standard end feed dipole antenna which should be used. Up to 50 km is regularly achieved at some site.
PilotAware doesn't like to over sell so that's why we say install an OGN-R and have an effect on 30Km around your site.
Do you want to put one in?

Hi gents,
This is to report that my OGN-R node PWHlaken is up and running in the center of The Netherlands. Due to weather constraints the antenna is still a temporary setup, but all seems to work as expected. Hope to see some traffic activity soon!
