Done, thanks SCB.
Now we just need more M-LAT capable Receivers between here and Sydney.
Using Plane Plotter to see what aircraft the Rx is seeing, I am always seeing at least 3 or 4 aircraft that aren't being shown on FR24 as M-LAT aircraft. Would be good to see them too. The parachute ops C208 out of Tyagarah, VH-YMV is frequently received, from 1500' to FL140, must be just missing some Rx's up north at top of climb. It never gets shown online.

Hi . I have question. I host F-YABA2. It has been running for a few months. This week it seemed to become deaf. 190 nautical miles to no better that 5 to 10 miles.
The receiver is elevated 370 metres. I haven't looked at the antenna yet but doubt there is a problem.
Anyone had a similar problem? I have rebooted the receiver.
Thanks for any help . Bevan

Of course the unit itself may have been affected somehow and the front end of the receiver is shot, unlikely though.

I've picked up the Google Loon, been tracking (MODE-S only) since 12:07 pm AEST (just under 3 hours).

Thanks for the heads up GBR8on8th6th2014VicAus.PNG
Just looked for it, found Google LOON in Victoria, looks like it was launched between Macarthur and Penshurst and headding presently in a North Easterly direction towards Bendigo.

Hmm, would like to contact those people who are doing the tests and find out more about it.
Have written to FR24 about their people make a balloon Icon, so far I have had a favoriable responce to my request.
You are right about the altitude, the last Google Loon balloon showed the same, seems when it reaches a certain height the FR24 software hedges up or down and has to put something there so it does, balloon speed and direction seems to be OK.
It's currently in the top part of Victoria headding towards NSW border towards Canberra

The NZ ones were. All but 3 were mode-s only. I suspect the cost of loss of ADSB gear is quite high, so they play with less smart baloons firstPosts not to be taken as official support representation - Just a helpful uploader who tinkers

MLAT getting better in SE Q'ld
mlatSEQ.jpg
Today I spotted ten aircraft over SEQ all courtesy of MLAT. All the "Unknown"s plus VOZ363A were on MLAT. The Virgin plane was an ATR, there was one Fokker 50, the rest were Dash8s. MLAT seems to work pretty well in this part of the world given that there are, to my knowledge, only three F feeders in this area west of the Range. Presumably the ones in Brisbane, adjacent coastal areas and northern NSW assist.
