Hong Kong Radar

[North Borneo Radar]

New Feeder F-ZGGG3...
It's coverage so big which can cover Pearl River Delta and South China Sea...
Most Blind coverage in VHHK such as South China Sea can be covered...

If it's connectivity is stable and 100% 24/7, I may change the decode hardware from Mode-S Beast back to DVB-T in order to focusing on M-LAT contribution.

Fantastic range! A warm welcome to F-ZGGG3! Finally improved coverage for the south, South East side, sea area of Hong Kong!

Well Hong Kong is so mountainous, that directional probably is what most need? No need to buy one, I made one very cheaply that works great using this link: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1328260

Perhaps. It all depends what you want really. In most cases high gain collinear seems to work well which is around 8-9dbi in gain. ads-b reception normally has a limit of around 250-300nm depending on elevation.

What range do you get with the biquad directional? And also the type of cable & length used? how high up are you?

Strange.. did we get an email about a reply in this thread? but nothing new is posted here.

Anywho hope in the future Dundee you saved enough to get a collinear antenna or... microtony can make you one of those dipole type.

Someone from Singapore replied a wrong post in here instead of Singapore Radar Forum a few hours ago...

Ya, my antenna bs1105 got from FA so far so good...
Although I paste much amalgamating tape to each connections of the antenna, cable, it just get a poor performance when raining dogs and cats a few days, everything fine after sunshine...
Another factor of my antenna is too long cable given by FA, I request a shorter one to FA and they said OK at first, but so far no reply, no follow up, no replacement schedule as #203...

I just still use the FA one as GPS antenna is not required during the test...
But I don't know whether the MLAT data is compatible with FR24 Format as I just use the Flightfeeder port 30005 PlanePlotter Format as source of data...

Hmm... I guess i'll update too thanks!

So have you replaced your antenna Dundee or still using the same one from FA?

All stations,

Radar code of mine will be changed from T-VHHH19 to T-VHST9 due to my participation of "Beta test new Flightradar24 MLAT software for Raspberry Pi".

Please pay attention!

HK's terrain make it difficult for good signal reception - though why not, you should send in an application to host their FR24 kit. No guarantee you will hear back from them though.

I have applied twice for my home same location in 2013, 2015, but all cases got no reply after filling step one doc sheet...
Maybe they think my location has many natural barriers like hills but they don't know I am one of the feeder which can provide good unique coverage for Hong Kong South...

Further more, I just lost contact with manufacturer of Flightfeeder 5 months already. I have email the situation to CEO once I can connect Flightfeeder to Router using Wifi Dongle by own DIY in March, but no reply, no follow up, no replacement schedule...
I think they have already given up my location as VHHH has good coverage and adequate feeders in Flightaware already...

No I think I might have misunderstood, I just added the -mlat option on dump1090, but after further investigation, it is a lot more complicated. Hmm... maybe i can get a radarcape from flightradar? Would be nice

Cool thanks Dundee, I just setup MLAT here at my station T-VHHH55

Hi there sounds like you bought a radarcape?

[jb_bak]

Cool thanks Dundee, I just setup MLAT here at my station T-VHHH55
