Last 7 days log is filling with Yellow timestamps...

(1/3) > >>

G-CONC:
I sent a e-mail to support asking why almost all my timestamps on my PGANRB110184 are yellow. When I started to use the Flightaware dongle they were all correct using the right colours, now things have changed. The confirmation of receipt of the e-mail was instant and I got a reply within 24 hours, I'm still trying to work out what the answer was that he gave me? I quote the answer received "That is interesting, when you mean your share by PGANRB.. have you tried sharing by the sharer software instead?" does anyone know what support means and if there is a sharer software where can one find it.  I thought that if you had a SDR dongle and an old Radarbox account that is no longer used you can use version 6 and sign in with your old details, am I right or wrong. If right why would I be asked to use the sharer software.

Runway 31:
You are correct Wayne, there is no problem with you using the details that you are.

By looking at your coverage I would suggest that the reason that a good bit of your coverage time is yellow is because you have limited range of max 60 miles mostly to the south of you and you are not picking up much in the way of aircraft.  Yellow signifies that you are online but there is no data because you are not receiving any aircraft during that time.  It goes green when you are picking up aircraft.

The only way to improve the situation will be for you to get a better antenna position to improve your range

G-CONC:
Yes Alan I do understand what your saying, But when I get 25/30 aircraft pass my location within 25 miles and the my station website puts a plane on the map for 10/12 minutes it should give me a green timestamp but they all are yellow.

Unfortunately you are not in a high traffic area.  I have been watching you for the last hour or so and no aircraft were picked up by your unit or came near you.  The 25/30 aircraft you pick up will I presume be in a day and I also presume that these will be compressed into short time frames so there will be lots of time in the day when you are picking up nothing such as at this time and other times you may be getting 2 or 3 at a time.  The squares are hourly so if you are not picking up any aircraft in that hour it will be yellow and if you are it will be green. 

I would imagine that most of the traffic you pick up will be in and out of General Santos which only has around 8 daily flights with a few flights in and out of Davao City.  The remainder will I presume be high level overflights.

Have you seen aircraft in your coverage in one of the yellow square times.  If so I would suggest that it is more to do with how the system marks them rather than anything else and I wouldn't get overly hung up about it. 

The only way that I can see to improve the situation and getting more green would be for you to pick up more traffic which may not be appropriate for you.
