  • T-EDTL5 wrong location ?

    Hi All,

    Since a couple of days I nodiced that groudn trafic from Karlsruhe-Baden http://www.flightradar24.com/48.77,8.08/14 is shown on FR24.
    This ground traffic goes through T-EDTL5 radar.

    What bothers me is that EDTL is the code for Lahr airport, if this receiver is actually near Lahr it cannot receive Ground Trafic from EDSB ...
    It seems like there was an error when inputting the corrdinates....

    Airport closest to the lat /lon location of the receiver is used for the radar call-sign. I'm guessing the feeder is closer to Lahr. With a decent antenna and reasonable line-of sight, he should have no problem picking up ground traffic at Karlshrue.

      The radar code is just an unique ID. Nothing more.
