I thought NZ1 has been around a while, but usually beaten to the punch as it has limited cover with the surrounding ranges. Unless thats a new one today, guess well find out when Sweden comes online and updates the 'spotted' thread. WN2 does indeed sound like another I've not seen until now.
ZK-EIF appears to have had an upgrade to full ADSB. (A piper 28!) Off to update unknown aircraft thrreadPosts not to be taken as official support representation - Just a helpful uploader who tinkers

Saw EIF just as it went offline. It's an Arrow with the Aero Club. It's a nice plane to fly though that was 10 years or so ago.

I was tracking online today and you were attributed to quite a few. Which is a starting indication. But if you flick through the PDF you were sent you should find a stats page mention. With a rose with distance and direction tracked maximums. Failing that you use SBSPlotter, or virtualradarserverPosts not to be taken as official support representation - Just a helpful uploader who tinkers

This is what I get from the Stats page - how does it stack up?
Also question - I opted for a 10m coax cable as wasn't sure how close I'd get it - using stock FR24 kit - is it worth me dropping down to 5m for signal loss etc or stick with where it is?

On another note BPO aka F-NZGT1 is down for sometime now I think?
NB: Ops you can access to your stats page. The polar plot will tell you how far your reception goes.
Bit more info here: http://forum.flightradar24.com/threa...standing-STATS
As for cable, reducing it to 5m might help as you cut your signal losses. As for what type of cable is up to your to choose... The stock antenna provided is a good antenna. Mine is attached to my window and I have good view of the south west and that is where I get my best range with my own set up, normally 250nm + sometimes more. The stock antenna with 10m H155 cable reaches 250nm + at that direction! My own set up is a high gain antenna with amp! oh gosh! This antenna IS good!Last edited by North Borneo Radar; 2014-04-22, 13:00.
