SBS-3, Planeplotter, Beamfinder

[IanH]

To get the SBS-3 working with the various versions of Beamfinder on PlanePlotter, PP needs to acquire data from the radar transmitters.

Having read the help files and watched YouTube videos, I needed to make sure data was being seen by PP after pressing the "r" and "u" keys.

Nothing on my SBS-3  And despite checking the IID box in PP Chart Options/Labels section, nothing extra was showing.

Luckily after searching I found this article: http://discussions.flightaware.com/ads-b-flight-tracking-f21/kinetic-sbs-3-to-basestation-to-planeplotter-setup-t17486.html

On the BaseStation menu, I selected, Settings/Data Settings and saw the following screen:



Nothing was ticked/checked so I adjusted it as shown. Now I get data showing in PlanePlotter as expected. And the IID info shows in PP.



Hopefully getting Beamfinder to work will now be possible

Thanks Ian for your post.

Which box in PP did you ticked/checked to get the "Sl-56" to show?

[Dave_EGDR]

Its in Options - Chart - Options - labels - tick IID

Not forgetting that the II / SI info is only displayed for locally received aircraft.

Thanks Dave.

Now getting the IID on the plots. 

Forgot all about those little boxes. Need to re-explore PP again.
