good grief. Where are you located to have coverage like that without the server?

If you look - top, to left of the screen you will see my home, 15 Mls west of Norwich.
Showing 137 in list.

Edit: Jeremy - Look in about 5 mins and you will see what coverage I get with my external antenna

Very good. Mine attached.

A suggestion for the next version could be a X/Y polor diagram as there is obviously an increase in distance v height of aircraft.

SBS Plotter will work with RadarBox - at least it did last time I checked.  You can view the coverage at different altitudes.

I noticed now twice that after extended operation the mylog current tracked aircraft list goes blank, the RB box lights flashes normally?
Maby some sort of timeout at mentioned above

[marcdeklerk]

The reporter for the day was blank again today after the above?

Hi Allocator, I have allways run SBS Plotter here on RB just as a quick refference for daily activity. If i have my map centered on home position it would instantly show any activity off screen which i found usefull. It would also show the furthest contact of the day. But since I have installed the new download I now find it records with a few minutes delay which rather defeats the main reason I use it. Any ideas.

No nothing like it.

I use Reg alerts a lot, when the sw starts then things work as intended but reduce significantly after time.  I use these alerts to actually tell me when a particular aircraft is flying in my area so I can view it.

So over time, 2-3 hours, any particular aircraft in the alert list will not appear as an alert at all when the system picks up the aircraft.  If I look back in the alert log I will see very few reg alerts mainly hexcode alerts.  The hexcodes are wildcards for Military traffic.  The reg alert list is civil airliners I want to see.   

If I stop and start the software then the reg alerts start to appear again as they should. I have tested this when a particular aircraft on the list was tracked but didn't alert.  I restarted that app and it alerted straight away. With V2.0 I never noticed this reduction in reg alerts.   I have over 1000 reg's in  my alert list both in v2 and v3.  Probably why this hasn't been noticed in testing.

Hope this helps.  Let me know if you need other info as this is my No.1 important feature.

Thanks

5) Won't startup at "home" location (yes I've saved the map)
6) Preferences/radarbox/Share Flight Data = OFF will not save - always starts up on/enabled

pjm,

5) Once you close down RadarBox after the first time it should save your location.

6.) This won't be looked at, this is done for a reason. Please search the forum for the discussions on this if you want to know more.

Hi

I am getting registration alerts ok but no flight number alerts at all.

Strange.

[pjm]

5) this possibly has to do with how I run radarbox across 2 screens (dual monitor with desktop extended) but no matter what I do it wont startup at the home location.



6) I've read the forum posts and the reasoning seems to be that you want to have a "network" of data. I appreciate the concept, but you want the users to pay for the data that you are collecting for free.

I'd be happy to share my data full time if you

a) Properly showed my location in the "Real time network location" map - I find 9 times out of 10 I'm only displayed by the city associated with my IP address which gives reading about 30 klms away from where I am receiving the information.
b) Pay me  to supply the info you want to on sell, this could be done on the basis of either cash, or additional time credited to the expiry date of the 1 year "included" network time.

I found that leaving Radarbox connected for 24 hours downloading and uploading network data consumed about 650mb, and that costs me dearly from my ISP.
