Alerts with ARNB 2009

[viking9]

Graham,

I've got 43C172 in my alert box for this morning, so no problem there.

Ok I actually cleared the alert log within the Alert tab.  only subjective so far but things seemed to have improved.  Will monitor further.

Why is it that when I get an Alert sound for my chosen aircraft in "My Flights", it shows up twice in the "Alert Log" section. For example, UK Airforce Reg ZF573 shows up in the alert log as a double entry rather than a single entry line. This happens with any of my chosen aircraft when I am alerted.

That might because you have 43C* in the mode S alert box and ZF573 in the Reg box - or BN2T in the type alert box?

[Allocator]

This is how I have my alerts set up at the moment.  No duplicate alarms in the alerts log.

I only have three aircraft registration numbers typed into the "Reg" box and that is checked. I don't have anything at all typed in the "Mode S" alert box and it is unchecked so I don't know why I'm getting these double entry lines for an aircraft when I receive the one single alert.

[Allocator]

Why not try putting the Mode S codes in the Mode S box instead of using the registrations and see what happens.

What are the 3 registrations you have in the alerts?

[Tailwinds]

The three registration numbers are...ZE701, ZF573 and ZD704. These three aircraft regularly fly over my house into RAF Northolt. Perhaps I'm not doing it right.
I'll do what you suggest and try the Mode S entries and see how I get on.

Thanks.

[Allocator]

OK, I've taken 43C* out of my Mode S alerts and put your 3 registrations in my Registration Alert box and I'll see what happens.

Allocator....

thanks very much for your help on this one.

Still watching the alerts - typically, these aeroplanes don't seem to be flying at the moment!

I tend to have my aircraft lists sorted by Mode S so all the 43C's are grouped together to make them easier to see - as are the other groups of interest like USAF.

I also get the occasional "double" alert.  I'd always put this down to an aircraft just entering my range, then just leaving my range, before entering it again.

To be honest, I now make much more use of the Fleet Watch feature to keep an eye on my "interesting" aircraft, these being - G-SAR*, G-CG*, G-CROY, G-VLCN, G-FR*, G-SAS*, X*, Z*

From Airnav...We haven't had any other issues regarding that and we can't recreate it so we assume that is the case.

A few minutes ago, I received yet another double entry alert in the log.

Received Registration: ZF573
Received Registration: ZF573

[AirNav Support]

I assume the aircraft that you are seeing double in the alerts are only Mode-S?

[Tailwinds]

Sorry Airnav, I'm not sure what your posting is asking. I have nothing checked in Mode S and I only have three Registration numbers typed into the Registartion Box. After all, I assume I have the choice of doing either?
