Tarbat,

The link for the Y adaptor is dead.

Beta testing was successful, but you'll need to develop your own program to read the real-time UDP stream and decode it - good luck!!!

I'm afraid I'll have to leave that to someone else. :-(

Again Andy, thanks, so how does a 5 minute delay get imposed, in the programming of the chips in the hardware, or in the software being used to access the data?   Can this delay be superimposed retrospectively and is it possible to circumvent it?

Clearly it's a software function, hence the statement that V2.1 will restore the delay which isn't present in the current release.

How to circumvent it?  Well, upgrading to the new version won't be compulsory, so don't ...

You get to choose which bugs you want!

Now, does this mean that 2.1 will upset the interface with Squawkbox for local flights?

Yes, since Squawkbox uses port 30003, it will also be 5-minute delayed with v2.1

Having just watched Squarkbox, for the first time, and noticed the lack of some traffic - being that without positional information.
I wonder if AirNav would be willing, in a future release, to give squark type flight data for ALL flights, without delay, or position on  another port??
This could then include military flights, and others flying without ADS-B enabled.
Based in Hexham - Tyne Valley 
Best view for RB is North of a line between EGNT and EGNC  - includes OTA and Spade, to EGPH above 7500ft.   Can be TRUE mobile with Mobile Broadband feed to Network.

I don't want to drag out the debate about having live data delayed but I would like to make the point that my sole reason for buying RB was so that I could see aircraft live as stated in this paragraph on this site:

AirNav RadarBox is the closest you can be to real world aviation without leaving your chair thanks to next generation Radar decoding. By decoding ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast) radar signals, you will be able to see on your computer what real Air Traffic Controllers see on their screens in Real-Time.

Live data is not going to be delayed - it is the data flow from port 30003 that will be delayed.  Do you actually use any utilities that use port 30003?

Can you confirm that the port 30003 output in V2.1 will be fully compatible with the SBS interface that it's supposedly emulating - i.e. with the various MSG types (1 to 8) containing the same range of data items, including those for non-ADS-B aircraft ?

So MSG Type 6, for example, would contain the squawk, subject of course to the 5-minute delay.

It would greatly help third-party application developers if there was a common API to program against.

Yes, I feed the data from that port to PlanePlotter, as increasing numbers of RB users are doing.

As do I, but you can't expect AirNav to write their software to support PlanePlotter.

Although, to be fair, Airnav did say they intended the port 30003 to emulate that available from SBS-1 Basestation, albeit with a 5-minute delay.

Yes, that's precisely the point.

So far, neither the delay or the emulation is working as advertised  :-)
