I have a band-pass filter on the way from mini-circuits that will hopefully help my signal overload situation. I guess living 300-400m line of sight from the Welly airport vor/dme/radio site does have a couple of drawbacks I have another 'low-tech' antenna solution in place for the short term which is still getting me pretty reasonable coverage, but I've had glimpses of what the Beast is capable of! I briefly plotted NZ802 as it was inbound just south of Greymouth yesterday on my interim antenna - great stuff. Coverage north I'm seeing aircraft TOD into Auckland. I'm also seeing up to 20 aircraft at busy times - a lot more than the dongle did, but it too may have been suffering from the same thing the beast is. I have a field trip in mind to do some Beast range testing - I just have to find a suitable hill without repeaters.

I found a bit weird that there are no flights to or from Dunedin showed today on FR24 (15.04.2003 21-23 UTC at least). According to the Airport's own databases, the planes are coming and going as usual. This not a radar issue, as other parts of a track not present as well. For example NZ5048 DUD->WLGLast edited by PALTDNNZ; 2013-04-15, 23:27.

You will only see the 2x ATR76s to/from there (which are in the north at present). Others that service the area are 737 not broadcasting full ADSB.Posts not to be taken as official support representation - Just a helpful uploader who tinkers

And then again it is not quite true. Jetstar is also flying AKL-DUD and their A320's have ADS-B. Right this moment JST285 is on its way.

An I swear I have seen some Air NZ A320's and even B373's flying into Dunedin at some point.
Here is B737 ZK-NGP just started from Welling tom

Interesting how the Information about the flight is dependent om the pilot keying in the correct flight no.
Here they entered NZ231 instead of NZM231 into the transponder, and woopti; a flight from AKL to PMR becomes a flight from ZQN to SYD

The ATR pilot seems notorious bad at getting the callsign right.

c87 are used by the akl radar towers, possibly you have one nearby too doing the samePosts not to be taken as official support representation - Just a helpful uploader who tinkers
