    I know you've been trying to get your cat to pee on that RadarBox ... I came across this the other day and was thinking about your cat. Here is a power bar that a cat was using as an energized toilet !

    Thanks 1090 MHz.

    Did that cat got an "electrified antenna" when peeing on the power bar ?

    Squawk... Seven-Seven they've gone to Heaven !
    West Malaysia used to have 3 feeders. Now reduced to only 1.

    When dealing with Airnav, anything goes - whether the RB is buried under the Tombstone or inside the Cat's litter bin for the cats to pee & pooh on - the message is the same:

    AirNav - You SUCKS !

    whatever it is, I am very proud of this Map - I deprived RadarBox of the feeds they badly needed.

    You should put WireShark on it and see what IP it's connecting to and what other ports they use... http://www.wireshark.org/

    In my PC Network Router, Ports 7878 and 7879 are already BLOCKED, yet, data still got stolen by the THIEF.

    Tarbat, a long standing and well respected RadarBox user and one-time beta tester, has posted an interesting comment on the Radarspotters forum which totally vindicates Birdie's post.

    One reason I pulled out of beta testing - difficult to sign-off as tested a "feature" you don't think should be implemented!! I was told last year that this new "feature" was to be introduced with the new software, and therefore users could stay on the old version of software and still get free server lookups.

    "With V4.04 and versions after that only users sharing data will get access to thumbnails and aircraft data. Please make sure you are sharing to the network / sharing activated."

    But it looks like AirNav couldn't wait to introduce it unannounced. Disgraceful.


    With aircraft updates blocked by Airnav, the RadarBox software become almost useless.

    In my view this isn't just disgraceful, it's a shameful breach of contract and I shall be referring AirNav's global distributor, Waters & Stanton of Hockley, Essex to the relevant UK authority.

    Maybe some US based customers should consider doing something similar about AirNav Systems LLC, registered in San Diego, CA, USA?

    Anmer,

    Thanks for your support. Have a cold beer - on my account.

    I am glad I exposed AirNav's dirty tricks and it is confirmed by none other than a renowned Beta-Tester, Tarbat.

    We Radarbox users are very grateful to Tarbat and other volunteers who contributed to make many features useful.

    But, when AirNav use under-hand arm twisting, lies, fraud to steal data - we have to stop it - by making them feel it - SHUT DOWN your Radarbox.
