Title: No some ADS-B parapemters through USB Extenders
Post by: Aeroscan on April 23, 2009, 10:07:13 AM

Dear all

We have tested following extenders

1. Lindy USB Extender
http://www.lindy.co.uk/usb-extension-cat5-usb-extender-premium-up-to-50m/42801.html)

2. StarTech.com USBThere USB100EXT
http://www.startech.com/item/USB100EXT-USBthere-Bus-Powered-330-Ft-USB-Ethernet-Extender.aspx

No one USB extender listed above do not work properly with RadarBox.

It’s very strange but through the USB Extenders there is a loss of some data (Flight ID, GS, Hdg, Latitude and Longitude). 
Especially coordinates are not shown! It’s very simple to check.

Dear all who have any type of USB Extender please check them and share information on this matter with us.

Dear AirNav Team please, say directly what type of USB connection (USB 1.1 or USB 2.0), speed (1.5 Mb/s, 12 Mb/s, 480 Mb/s) and power consumption does RB support?

People, be attentive that when you use USB extender and say that everything is work good please check if you receive all ADS-B parameters (a little globe in first column should always be shown near the tracked aircraft).

Thank you and kind regards,
Vladimir
