Thanks.. I would have liked to have had a nicer looking aircraft icon but I needed a colour that stood out on all three map types. Eg. satelite, normal, and terrain. Hopefully a pink icon isn't too ugly.

I haven't actually checked them both at the same time, but both devices definately do it. For the website I use the SBS-1, and for every day use, I use the Radarbox. Both have done it on occasion. Next time it happens, i'll see if I can check both devices at the same time.

I've got both the SBS-1 and the Radarbox. The SBS-1 is being used to feed the website. I've designed the parsing program to use the Radarbox database though so I can hot swap the databases between the website and the radarbox. Periodically I just copy the radarbox database to the laptop running the parsing program and I have updated data.

It tracks any aircraft transmitting ADS-B around where I live in Chatswood assuming of course I can pick up the signal ;) It also filters out any aircraft with a lat and lon of 0.000000 etc. My location sucks though. In the FAQ section I've put up my polar diagram which shows how bad it is. That's with a good antenna on my veranda. Although I usually use the indoor antenna which makes it worse. It's because i'm surrounded by office buildings and facing the opposite direction to the flight path. I think most of my signal comes from bounces off the buildings.

They disappear from the map after about 1-2 minutes of not having a signal. Unfortunately my location isn't the greatest. I'm facing the opposite direction to the flight path and surrounded by office buildings. At the best of times the signal can be a bit flaky so aircraft come and go quickly.

Hi all, Just after some of comments/opinions of my website i've been building. It's still a work in progress. I'm currently working on adding more photos (waiting on permission from the photographers), and updating the database with more data, and tweaking bits of the site in general. Bare in mind that I'm not a professional web developer.. in fact everything i've done, i've been learning as I go so be kind ;) Let me know what you think. URL is in my sig. G PS. Since Sydney is currently in a curfew I'm displaying recorded data for tonight.. During the day it's live (and updated every 20 seconds).

Over the past few days i've noticed a V Australia aircraft with Latitude and Longitude co-ordinates going nuts. Normally I wouldn't have noticed it but I've been working on my website and noticed the distance from Chatswood would jump 4000 kilometres in only a few seconds. Sure enough when I looked at the Latitude and Longitude it was fluctuating wildly. I realize problems exist from time to time, but wouldn't an airline fix something like this super quick since it's rather important information? The next time I see it I'll take note of the ModeS and/or Callsign.

Hi all, First time poster as I never realized the site existed. Looks great so far. My name is Geoff. Some of you have probably seen me from the Sydney Airport Forum. For those that haven't, greetings from Chatswood, NSW. Not a lot to say at the moment.. I'm going to take a look around though and hopefully get a little more involved. Cheers Geoff
