The hard drive has failed on my little feeder netbook today so my tracking is currently grounded

 

[Lazarus]

Hard Drive?

Aren't you using SSDs yet?

 

[Analoguesat]

On some kit yes.

You could dig the pi out. It seems the season for failing electronics.

 

[Analoguesat]

Replacement SSD on order..... In the meantime I must have a spare 80gig 2.5" drive in a draw somewhere to get me back on air.

A somewhat fraught laptop rebuild over the last few days but Its now about 95% complete, and Im tracking aircraft again.

Havent got the 360radar mlat client set up again yet - that can wait till tomorrow.

G-UKAL was an interesting aircraft to track.http://forums.airshows.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=58348

Just watched an Easyjet on a flight Edinburgh - Hamburg do a fast descent & divert to Newcastle. First time Ive ever seen the aircraft details on VRS turn pink then red!

 

[Analoguesat]

BBC News report about the diverted Easyjet (G-EZWX for the record)

Final interconnects have arrived so Ive connected my uputronics amp up & its making quite a difference already :-)

40 miles added to my splat range in one direction - and its only been running a couple of hours

Nothing else changed, and the antenna is still wonky as I havent got round to fixing it yet - its been too ruddy cold!.

The lowflyingwales ADSB uploader now added into my system

ADSB Windows Uploader Installation Instructions – LowFlyingWales.co.uk

My station goes into a big gap between Dumfries, Edinburgh, & Newcastle!

The XP version works fine on my old 32 bit win7 desktop.

Something a bit more interesting than the usual array of Flybe's, Ryan Air's Easyjet's & KLM's - TWO Ethiopian Airs visible at once

What dongle are you using?

 

[Analoguesat]

The cheapie one I started with, although a proper TXCO square one is in the post from Amazon.

 

[Analoguesat]

NooElec square txco dongle arrived, so rapidly swapped over & we will see what happens now. Plus Ive now got a spare dongle to see what new things I can get with it

You running Windows?

If you want, when I get home I will zip up my ascars prog so you can have a go.

Yup so yes please Chris
