Long Timeouts
« on: February 26, 2009, 04:36:03 PM »
Been watching my box quite a bit today. Managed to pop the supplied aerial onto the window ledge as well so in East London picking up around 50 flights.
However in the last hour my flights have been timing out. Not just one but all of them. Suddenly it goes blank and can take upto 30 seconds for them to re-appear. Also there does not seem to be as many being picked up (ie - i can see ones fly over and nothing on the screen)
Anyway had anything like this before?

I may have dicovered what was causing this.
Yesterday I setup an alert for a plane I was tracking from Tenerife. I setup an email and sound alert when it was in range. I justnoticed a lfaint sound and then on the bottom of the screen saying sending email. It was as this point all the timeouts happened.
I have removed all alerts and seems to be better.
Will update later

Welcome to the world of eating little, sleeping little and watching the pc constantly.
What happens to your live traffic? Have you had no local traffic? Where is you aerial situated?

If you are seeing no local pickups ensure you have process hardware flights box checked in the myflights tab.

Also check your antenna connection.

Nesbit,

Restart your RadarBox software, it has a habit of hiding your local flights in network when you run for the 1st time. Once restarted check the message counter at the bottom which will show you whether you are getting messages from nearby aircraft.

I think my box might be starting to develop a problem. I mentioned the timeouts yesterday. After the box has been powered on for a bit I loose all my local flights and the blue light just flashes. Restarting the software does not solve this and only taking the USB lead out brings it back to life.
This has now happened twice in 24hours

Have you ensured that the USB port power management is turned off?

Yeah just checked under my power saving plan on Vista. It shows "USB selective suspend setting" as disabled.
Would the whole box not just turn of though if theer was no USB power? I have a green power light, a blue USB light but NO signal light unless I reset

I'm not sure exactly what the USB suspend does, so I mentioned it for completeness. It may well not be the problem.

Also check the USB power management settings on your USB root hubs in Device Manager.

Hi Tarbat. Checked under Vista and no setting for that. Its not been happening today so Im suspecting it might be the screensaver that causes it.
Will have to keep checking. cheers for for the help
