Has work started in earnest to fix the Radarbox bugs?

Would be lovely if it did, but going on AirNav's track record, it will be utterly incompatible and you will have to pay through the nose for "Son of RadarBox".

But with the sbs-3 and Beast being arguable the best hardware out there, a new RadarBox's selling point, to put it above the competition, HAS to be superlative software and a reliable, cheaper (if not free) network.

If it's not, then even if it's slightly better hardware than the others, who is going to buy it because of the terrible customer service reputation they've acquired over the last 3 or more years?

The RadarBox software has been a good selling point - lots of included features such as filters, routes, aircraft images, database etc.  If Basestation had some of these and Mlat it would sweep the board.

But on scatching the surface, the AirNav software suffers badly from unresolved bugs and lacks the level of map customisation that Basestation offers.

The SBS-3 SDRs are a nice touch but I'm more interested in having a high quality receiver that delivers most contacts and, for those who want it, "raw" data for PlanePlotter's Mlat, Beamfinder and Beamfinder Plus.

RadarBox has a lot of catching up to do.

But it might generate new sales and much needed revenue for AirNav

A tongue in cheek comment I hope!

Taking an optimistic view, maybe the "all-new RadarBox" software will work with the current receiver, will fix all bugs and deliver Mlat as promised years ago?

Pray tell us what you are sniffing?

A month since the last post on this thread, does anyone know if any development has taken place?

[Bethsalem]

With Airnav, bitter experience tells me that silence usually equates to nothing doing.

I would be very surprised, having said what I've said, if there's been any further progress in re-writing code to eliminate the various bugs, which time and time again since 2009, have been pointed out to Airnav for their attention.

Their inability or unwillingness to engage appropriately with customer input means that they've been left behind and their RadarBox is now middling.

If Bev re-writes PP and gives it a modern interface, which I really hope happens soon, then there will be absolutely no reason ( in my opinion ) to buy a RadarBox.

Over to you Mr Brandao.

They still need to get the software to the beta testers. (when the next ANRB software version is written)   
So it should be over 1 year before it gets released to the regular ANRB users.
