Hi all

I am using a Kinetic puck, and it is working fine, except for the fact that no Squawk codes are showing up.
Anyone have any idea why that might be?

Anmer

On what application are the squawk codes not appearing?  BaseStation, VRS or other app?

And are there none at all, or some are displaying, others not?

Snoopy

Base Station.
No codes at all

Anmer

Thanks.

Where is BaseStation do you expect to see the squawk code displayed?

If you double click an aircraft to open the pop-up Aircraft Details window, is the Squawk missing, see attached?

I don't see squawks in the aircraft list or in the aircraft details.

Anmer

Thanks again.

What Timeouts do you have set>

Snoopy

That solved it. Thanks.
I had "Ignore Non ADS-B Mode-S Messages" ticked...  :-\
But that screenshot solved the issue!

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer.

Anmer

Great.  But if I tick "Ignore Non ADS-B..." I still see squawks. :-\

Out of interest, what are your timeout settings?

Snoopy

Sorry, I only just saw this.
These are my current settings.

Anmer

Thanks.

You have very long timeouts.

Change "Remove" to 30 and "Delete" to 300.

The check "Ignore Non ADS-B Mode-S Messages" again.

Do you see squawk codes?

Snoopy

Thanks. Yes, Squawk codes are still coming through.

Anmer

Thanks.

I think the missing codes were due to the long timeouts.
