  • Radar Coverage

    Hello all!

    One month ago, I installed the F-LGAD1 station which is up and running.

    After all I made two questions.
    1. Considering that my receiver is mounted indoor the temperature is higher by aprox 25 'C than the actual temperature.
    2. Although I have some aircrafts tracked, none of them are appeared on the main site of flightradar24 to be feeded by mine radar. I also applied a filter to show aircrafts from my radar only and guess! Map is empty

    The strange is that aircrafts are showed to be tracked from radars farrrr away and not mine, even in case that passing exactly above me.

    1. Don't worry about temperature.
    2. Radar code shown on the map is irrelevant. Your radar is sending data and it is used by fr24 to place a/c on the map.
    3. Enjoy the hobby. You can use software like Virtual Radar Server, ADSBscope...etc to connect to your radar and see your radar coverage

      You can see what your receiver is doing with RadarView in Premium:





      Red labels are local ADS-B traffic from your box.

          RadarView is web related (FR24) "radar screen" with option of showing planes covered with your radar in different colour.

          You can find it here:


          VRS is standalone program and connected to your box shows all planes covered (ADS-B, MODE-S (listed only) and BLOCKED).
          VRS needs updated bastation.sqb to show all plane info. You can look for it on the internet or you can use some kind of updater. (pb link ...etc)

            ok, i saw this, but i made wrong question!, the question goes like this: Why in VRS i see airplanes that in Radarview i dont see (using check on local traffic), and on the general map of FR24, the others radars overlap mine?

              do you see them on the map or on the list?

              If you see them on the map and they are invisibe on fr24, - they are blocked or hidden on fr24 map
              Blocking
              For security and privacy reasons information about some aircraft is limited or blocked.
              If you see them on the list,without position and/or speed - MODE-S only planes,and visible on FR24 map via MLAT - where covered by FR24 boxes

                Ok copy that.

                Another thing, why sometimes anothers radars overlap mine?

                  Radars overlap all the time, everywhere. That is why we have MLAT and good coverage on FR24

                  Also, notice #2 here http://forum.flightradar24.com/threa...ll=1#post65843 in one of my previous posts

                    I average about 200,000 hits a day. about 1/2% (approx. 1000) are in the immediate vicinity or directly over head. The vast majority are 50 to 100 NM out. I would estimate that more than 50% is MLAT. Depending on the geography of your area, you might be surprised at what you find if you go out about 100 NM. You'll be overlapping someone else.

                      Patrick,

                      It's probably not a good idea to post a pic (post #3) with the lat/long co-ordinates or the IP address (if they are in fact genuine) on this forum. You may wish to erase those.

                      Regards,
                      Gregg

                        Thanks for the heads-up fungus, the lat/lon is where I was on the screen, so not accurate, the IP is local router assigned behind encryption. If any forum member can hack in, I'll host a Kegger, all members invited.
