New Zealand Radar

[Oblivian]

Since these are stupid hard to get in NZ only a few do...

Someone I know got a filter about the same time as I got him interested in ADSB (got a Miro MicroADSB). Back then it was all hope and no nice tv sticks with modded LNAs added etc So purchased one of these with the intention of sticking it up.

If I find how much he wants for it, would anyone be interested in a commercial LNA https://shop.kuhne-electronic.com/ku...ier/?card=1811
Keeping in mine it was about $117euro (like $300nz...)

He didn't realise it may need a BIAS-T - so no power injection method currently (model he has may be an earlier edition)

My kit has N-type. but wrong gender without some tail making, and again, no power to make use.

We now have a new addition F-NZGT1 Mt Cook area

IGI has been blocked.

Which is a shame, as i don't think the agency minded it talking to the odd person involved. It's now joined the otago sisters

Love to know who decided to request it disappear.

Good to see the sky's full again.

Updated Receiver list available to view at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...it?usp=sharing

There have been quite a few who would appear to have switched off over the lock down period for what ever reason.

Newest receiver is at Franz Josef area (T-NZFJ1), and we now have a presence on Stewart Is (T-NZRC1)

Man, Traffic has dropped so much I keep getting alerts that both feeders are down :/

8 or so individual contacts a day only

Seems the connector I use (beast-splitter) may decide to reset after no traffic for a while which triggers the FA 'feeder down' alert

FR24 detects no traffic after a period so keeps resetting (a 'feature' they included) - that kills the Basestation/MSG 30003 port that my realtime SQL data writer uses and can't reconnect


So now I've had to add modesmixer2 to the mix to see if It can keep-alive and not disturb the logger. Sigh.

Come back airplanes!

Anyone here in NZ use Planebase??

Aren't the skies scary quiet.

I've checked my logging multiple times to make sure the 0 contacts wasn't due to a crash!

Just checked my Stats. Not looking good

Possibly first 747-8 We have had down in CHC due 6ish

And possibly a 77W Emirates to follow nearer 8

Disappointing isn't it

[Westone]

Bit of useless information. The T-NZCH series of Radars is up to number 100, during the past few days. But sadly only 35 of the 100 are currently supplying data
