@viista: Make a normal application on the webpage (if you havent already?) and post the application id here. I will then look at it and we can send you a kit without the parts you don't need.

Looks like I missed that earlier. I ran out of optimal location at the roof for antenna installation. The current antenna and receiver is doing its job feeding to a few places. If I were to apply for another receiver, I wonder whether FR24 can supply me with some kind of coax splitter instead of another set of coaxial cable and antenna. That is the only concern that I have.
T-WMKP3Originally posted by North Borneo Radar View Post@viista, I have a reply! For your case it will be that FR24 prefers to send you the kit minus antenna and cable, and you have to get a splitter of your choice which FR24 would reimburse you after you submit the receipt. One thing to note from me however is that there is some db lost (i forgot how many) so you might notice your range decrease when using a splitter. But you can experiment I guess.

It seems that the same hex is being used for 2 completely different type of planes. I thought it might be a transponder shift from an older plane, but it seems it isn't. The plane in the pic would be a B737 @FL360 but from FR24 database/history, there's another plane with the same hex, which should be an AT76, and is still in operation...
I thought every aircraft transponders have their own unique hex? Or not? It should be.
Edit: This doesn't seems to be FR24's problem, as I just read that the hex can be inputted pre-flight(?).

Thanks for reporting F-EGLF1. He was using very bad tactics to get 5 posts to post a url link to stir. He's now back to 1

It might take about a week for them to reply though. I contacted Olov. He's a busy person understandably.Originally posted by viista View PostNBR, noted. Thanks for the help.

Originally posted by North Borneo Radar View PostI guess the company will open an investigation and look into it. Too bad the part of the transmission by the CEB pilot was broken, so we are unable to know what happened. I am surprised you are listening to ATC at such hours though!

The flight was outside of Bintulu that time and later contacted WBKK as it flew further towards Miri. The female controller queried them about it, the pilot explained (but was unreadable possibly due to weak signals) and apologized to the ATC.....
I'm curious of what happened actually, did they set the wrong frequency??Originally posted by Limpost View PostAt that time in the morning, both could have fallen asleep.Originally posted by edward93 View PostThat would have been disastrous if it was the case....
