There has been another update to Planeplotter, which will affect Mlat if we are not all on the same version.
Note below taken from the PP Forum
"I have modified the way in which raw data is transferred from Ground Station to Master User (or Sector Master User) to reduce the time it takes to transfer the data and so reduce the load on each Ground Station. This will be particularly welcomed by Ground Stations with high productivity. The burden of sending all the data to other users can be intrusive under previous versions.
As part of this update, it is necessary to update the processing of the incoming raw data in the 'customer' Master Users. Be aware that in view of this, it is more than usually imperative to perform this update as soon as possible. A Master User running a previous version will be unable to process raw data coming from a Ground Station on this version so Mlats will be degraded or will fail. Normally we strive to maintain backward compatibility but in this case, because a change of protocol is involved, it is not possible to apply this principle.
At the same time, this new version will facilitate the transfer of raw data from free-standing RPIs, with a corresponding improvement in the performance."
