I now have a new SBS-3 box sitting here in my office. I'm located near Gainesville, GA - north of ATL. The antenna ia currently located on the windowsill, but I see aircraft over 100nm away to the south and east. Very cool. If somebody in the area reads this and enjoy climbing roofs, you are most welcome to pass by and have a beer after installing my 'big' antenna. I can't do heights...
I do notice that some of the blue lights on the box flicker from time and the aircraft disappear from the screen. Is this normal, is it a weak antenna or is there something wrong? The installation was quite smooth, but struck me as somewhat 'old fashioned'. Getting too spoiled with all the plug and play stuff, I guess ...
But it's great to be 'live'! And an old friend, former Braathens LN-BRB decided to pay a visit to celebrate the grand opening!
