| Subject: | Re: ADS-B with Avare's ADS-B Pro |
As many of you know I have been having some problems getting my stratus
to load. I have a duplicate system which shows the same signs. When I
look at the SD card the Boot file and the IMG file are there and the
data size is was it should be. What I noticed is that the IMG file is
grayed out. Is this a normal indication is the question. Any help would
be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Larry

on and in a little over an hour I was down to 34% battery. It seemed to
work great. Attached are screen shots of the Avare Map (note I am
southeast of Chicago), the screen of the frames activity at one point

to the back of the passenger seat, the SDR, a OTG cable (with extra
power in cord/connector that I didn't use) and my Samsung tablet.
Landed with about 20% tablet battery left after a 1.7 hour flight, but
when the tablet battery got to 34% I started blanking the tablet screen
to see if the tablets battery would drain at a slower rate (still SDR
powered) and indeed the battery didn't drain nearly as fast (still I
liked having the screen on all the time).

I've attached a screen shot of my Stratux SD card, a known working install.

Pulsar Friends,
Well I flew last Saturday with my ADS-B in set up. This time running the
$2.49 ADS-B Pro app for Android. I ran the SDR (software defined radio USB

turned the screen intensity to full and left it always on and in a little

the tablet screen to see if the tablets battery would drain at a slower rate
(still SDR powered) and indeed the battery didn't drain nearly as fast

show how the weather appears; Avare's app on Google shows how weather is

I plan on making a better antenna, specific for the ground base 978MHz
reception (cable to make my antenna is coming from China) and will probably
mount the antenna behind the passenger seat. Also am working on a simple
cable solution to power both the tablet and SDR in flight (the Y cable I got
supplies power to the SDR and not the tablet).
I just started working on a holder for the tablet and SDR which will utilize
one of my RAM mounts (back up hand held radio is going to move somewhere
else).
After this becomes more permanent a set up, I am wondering if I will need my
Garmin 396 GPS anymore. I think I can get the functions and information
that I use the 396 for, from the Avare app as it uses the tablet's GPS.

We just completed a major upgrade to Airport Courtesy Cars App, which now makes the app available on ALL devices, including the web. Please upgrade your app to the latest version. If your phone does not support the app, then go to our new website, www.airportcourtesycars.com The site is mobile friendly and you can place its icon to your phone or tablet screen. Both versions show Google maps for each state, the app version still shows the entire US map which some people prefer. The site currently lists over 1560 cars. Thanks for your input and contact us with any questions, new listings, or corrections to airportcars101@gmail.com And please check out our advertisers and FBOs who offer you fuel discounts. The app remains free.
