WOW! Myflights up:-)

V3.0 decodes more mode-s frames which results in more flight numbers being shown.  Explained above.

With me, after installing V3.0 last friday, I have seen over 300 at peaktimes.

Hi All,

This morning for the first time I have seen more then 400. "MyFlights" box shows 409 at 11:45 am LT. Normaly its one of the peaktimes of the day indeed overhere.

hi john.
 over here in Ireland some days my flights going over the big pond to u.s.a. are about 200, i think its the jet stream it could go down to 50.
i mean they go top of Ireland one day then down the bottom next day

So allow me to ask again, what's the basis for the assertion that "the number of aircraft received can double" (or even increase at all) with V3.0?

I think they mean that there were some frames that were not decoded at all, or incorrectly before, so the fixes for that result in a greater number of aircraft shown when they would not have been before.

Resolved off-list.

Agree with the increase in flights logged, usually got around a 1,000 with previous versions, but since upgrading on Thursday have had 1768,1781 & 1646 respectively.

Are you able to expand on that?

I am still using v2.10 Beta here (no duplicates?) and although I have been close to that magic 3000 figure before ( I have always seen 2500+ unique aircraft a day) I have finally broken it!

See attached pic.

This is just my 'naked' antenna without a pre-amp.

I mention this because I have the Kuhne 1090 and am just waiting for a short length of pre-terminated Westflex 103 to connect to the pre-amp at the masthead.

I only want to do this once! ;^)

As I have said before I would rather not have a pre-amp but it seems the best solution to protect against ESD or whatever it is that has killed two boxes now...

Hi all,

I have seen a significant increase in individual aircraft record each day since using the V3 beta. I'm about 200 up on average each day. (13%)

IMHO there are several reasons compounded together which has given me this increase.

1. Season change in weather (More light aircraft up)
2. Season increase in commercial traffic (holiday trafic)
3. Mode-s changes that came in on 1st April (More Light + Mil mode-s traffic)
4. There is a subtle change in the sensetivity of the RB (Changes to the decoding Algorithm to stop purple rain etc)

Attatched is an exel graph of my polar diagram comparing V2 with V3 beta. Its not a massive change but its noticable.

Thats my take on it anyhow

Cheers John
