[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 969195, member: 325666"] So ...how does this actually work I wonder ? I picked up a Ryanair flight (370) call sign 15CG over the UK woth RTL1090 ...it passed over or close to Manchester from Europe..and headed out to sea ...where it disappeared over Morcambe bay ..? I would have then expected it to be picked up by Jaero ...as the Cband data is tracked over a longer range ...so further offshore ..but of course if it did land in Ireland ..then short range tracking is all that was neccessary (handed off )..and an RTL1090 system based in say Belfast would have picked it up to see it's journey completed.. I should have taken note where it was headed ..as it may well be destined to land in Ireland ...? I'll try and pick up a plane taking off from Manchester heading to the USA ..and see if and how far I can track it without losing it .. Tomorrow that is .. lol [/QUOTE]
