Thanks Fenris.

That would mean the aircraft lined up on the ILS would be hard to see from his location unless his antenna has a clear view. Though not impossible hence the smaller Mode-S signals get through.

Yes, I presume that a few odd frames received will lock out the network data for that aircraft. Probably needs to adjust the timeouts to shorten those for local flights some more.

Agreed, though its not related to the issues from the other side of the world.

No, indeed. Separate problems.

Airnav and Fenris.
Thanks for your help. AN we have discussed this before about a year ago but my slow machine was thought to be the trouble. My location is Newbury, just showing to the west of the screen shot. This problem is actually hitting me quite hard as I am losing I guess about 40% of traffic when allowing my hardware to interfere.
Can you make a recommendation as to the correct timeouts. MyF is set to 10 and 10 secs.

"Can you capture some port 30003 output? Telnet should do it, then you can paste a bit here and no doubt Dave Reid can pronounce."

Hi can someone step me through how to do this, I guess you use Hyperterminal.

I tried a USB Capture program but my low spec laptop cant handle both programs .
If anyone is interested I recorded a couple of track passes through my no go zone, I can send if needed  (600k)

The Windows telnet program should do the job Mike, but it may not be installed by default. Which OS are you running?

OK, I think telnet to port 30003 or 7879 will work, then you need to capture the data to a file.

I suppose it would help if you indicate the aircraft that initially appear on the map, and that then disappear. That will make it easier to spot them in the XML stream.

How do I telnet to port 30003?   
Then capture the received data using select all / copy paste??

Think I see- "open 30003"

If you open a command prompt, type:

telnet localhost 30003

and you should see data (after 5 minutes if using a 3.0x beta version).

I think you can do cut and paste, it's possible it also works if you use the:

> <filename>

syntax in the command.

In order to save the telnet session into a file the syntax is:

telnet -f C:\rb.txt localhost 30003

The capture file will be C:\rb.txt. Replace the path wit whatever you prefer.
