USB Stick Mode-S Receiver

[Anmer]

I'm on the road a long way from home with no access to PP.  What version of PP are you using and can you remind me all the receiver options?

I use PlanePlotter 6.2.7.2 downloaded from COAA website. The installation went well. But when I want to configure the program using the setup wizard (Help-->Setup wizard) it had many steps of questions, such as "Do you have AirNav Radarbox installed and running?"  "Do you have PlaneGadget Radar installed and running?" and so on.. but no GNS5890 in the dialogue box. So I had to click through these steps and ended up "Restart the setup wizard" .. and nothing happen. Have I done something wrong?

As the GNS is a USB device, maybe try selecting PGR from I/O options and then set up the comm port using Options>>Mode-S receiver>>PlaneGadger Radar>> setup comm port and then repeat and use the 'setup receiver' option.

I'm guessing here so don't send the boys round if this doesn't work, but it might be worth a try.

Thanx Tim. I followed your suggestion and it works

G'Day Tim.
I have the same problem here - unable to choose GNS 5890 as the receiver, but...
When I look at PP options, I/O settings is grayed out / unavailable. Not sure why.
Any ideas please ?

Thanks, Greg.

Hi Greg,

You need to stop PP processing to allow the I/O option button to be active. Click on the second icon from the left - black square - and it will turn into a green dot. I/O options will then be available for you to change the settings.

G'Day Tim, and thanks for the reply.
The answer is of course quite logical (once you know how) ;-)
I'll give it another go.
