Radarspotting
Mode-S Receivers => GNS 5890 => Topic started by: mezoo on November 02, 2012, 11:18:36 AM
Hello,
not sure if I should pose this question here or in the Planeplotter section.
I have been trying to use Planeplotters Beamfinder function.
So far with limited success.
Has anybody else tried this with the GNS?
Does it work with the GNS at all ?
If I open the pulse rate window for Mode A/C and S I do not get any pattern similar to those shown in the demos.
Actually it is only a line of regular pulses.
The Mode C (Altitude) window shows the aircraft changing altitude.
On the outline map I do see radar beams and have logged them (II-1 to S-61)
These log files can get quite big.
However Mode-S radar beams are relatively rare
Using the PP radar analysis tool and the radar location data fom jetvision I think I have identified a number of radars (Maastricht SI-38, Herwijnen II-10 and Cologne Si-22&I-10) - but am very unsure.
My location : close to EDLW
Does somebody have a radar.txt file suitable for NW Germany ?
Thank you
Mezoo
