[QUOTE="spacedish, post: 967735, member: 402794"] Now back after 2 weeks away so hopefully I can help with a few of the issues. First...keep everything as simple as possible Use a PLL C band lnb such as the Titanium series Inmarsat is used whilst crossing the OCEANS.When in 1090mhz range normal ADS-B is used , which Planeplotter can track to give "joined up" coverage. Planeplotter is now also incorporating PiReps { pilot reports} for Oceanic Traffic which means more plots including mil traffic. Its a lot to ask , I know but for anyone prepared to dedicate their system to feeding PlanePlotter at C band full time , I have a small number of free licences available. I would especially like to hear from anyone who can see the outer limits of the arc...or anyone based in the US who may be reading this thread. Drift.....it has been noticed that around 0800 GMT and 1600GMT the Inmarsat frequencies shift about 5khz ...otherwise signals on 15 west are pretty stable. On 25E the increased inclination can cause some loss of signal at times but a carefully centred dish up to 1.8m will maintain a useable signal all day without adjustment. Its pretty busy in the Atlantic at present! [IMG]http://farm2.staticflickr.com/1506/25742379823_b56026d27a_b.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
