Water maybe the problem. I suspect  With the weather we have had in last two weeks,  very heavy rain for days,   Any help on how to remedy that.  Will I have to replace co-ax Kevin

Kevin,

I get the feeling it might be a faulty Radar Unit and not your Antenna at all ?

James Would you know how I can return faulty box also would you know if it will be at my cost
There has been a few faulty boxes sent to New Zealand lately
Thanks for all your help

Hi Kevin,

Yes there have been faulty Units sent to both Australia & NZ with the very same problem you are having !!

I would contact Pedro via email as he looks after returns which will not be at your expense !!

Kevin,

Yes I understand how you feel and I have also sent Pedro an email in regards to your Uni as I have a full listing of all Units within Australia & NZ here.

You can also contact me via email at [email protected]

Cheers

Ant queries regarding support would be best sent to [email protected].  You are better doing that as the forum isn't monitored by support.  Pedro will want to check it out to find out if its the unit or the antenna that needs replaced or if he can give advice to get it online.

My new receiver is working well and giving Auckland good coverage. Seeing up to 233nm in some directions. After winter I will get the antenna raised another 2 meters which should improve coverage in some directions.

Great to hear Dennis :-)

Indeed it is.

On a different note, is someone able to explain how the polar diagram works in the RB system (I know what a polar diagram is). In the my station section I have seen planes fly over areas not covered by the polar diagram and then it changes. At other times I have seem planes fly a long way outside of the polar diagram but it does not change!

Hi Dennis,

did the plane, outside polar diagram, move along the direction of travel or was it moving in north south direction while the airframe icon was "looking" in another direction?

Hi Ingo,

I understand now, I watched for an hour and saw how it worked.

Cheers,

If you are looking for an extension cable for your antenna here is a link to Jaycar in Australia that you might like to checkout ?

I recently added an inline filter just before the receiver. Despite an insertion loss of around 2db it made a big improvement to reception. Long range reception increased by around 15%: short range by up to 50%.
