Thanks Jon. Not really what i wanted to hear of course, but I appreciate the candor. Helps me make some decisions though, so many thanks.

I dont believe there is any box on the market at this time that can MLAT without PP so to get an MLAT capability you will require a receiver and PP. It is my belief that for Radarbox to get an MLAT capability an entirely new receiver is required as you will not be able to get the function with a software upgrade alone.

It should also be stated that MLAT is entirely dependant on having sufficent similarly equipped users in your area to enable triangulation to assist in determining the approximate position of a non ADSB equipped but MODE-S equipped aircraft.

I am quite happy for any inaccuracies in the above to be corrected.

There is no reason at all why your RB and PP Mlat should drag your PC down.

BTW for everyone else considering Mlat , PP is running a special offer until the end of this month...just 20 euro registration fee , plus tax , instead of 25 euro :O)

Mlat is then just 12 euro a year , plus tax for non raw data sharers!

And remember that if you have RB 3D, you can even display the MLAT'ed aircraft from PP in the RB 3D window, which is a significant advantage.

Thanks so much for your input here. Many thoughts to consider.
I suspect it will come down to the data sharing ability (for Mlat) though, as my area is poorly covered as it is, so it would add to the network and better yet it'd be free.
I have no idea why running PP and anrb together is such a drag on the system. It occurs to me now that it has been pointed out that this shouldn't be a problem, that it may be down to the outboard graphics card that i have to run to allow two monitors for anrb and pp to be displayed at the same time.
Of course I could just buy and run another box as well, but I doubt the goddess domestic would allow that.

Thanks again for your valued input

We continue the development work on V4.04 of the RadarBox Windows Client software. We will keep sharing information on this forum when we have more questions / need more feedback from users.

Hi,

It is almost end of the month and year. Will there be any Christmas/New Year give for ANRB users? Says.. public beta?

Cheers,

We are a little delayed with the latest improvements to the RadarBox Windows client software. We could say 70% of the work is finished now. We had to put the work on stby due to other priorities during the last 3 weeks but the good news is that we are resuming work today. Again tks for your patience.

RadarBox to the back burner yet again!

Hi Alan,
Should we take from that, that this development work isn't being carried out by AN, but by its supporters, or is RB development, once again, playing second fiddle to something perceived by AN to be more important - neither inspires confidence in AN unfortunately.

No John, Dev works as a pilot, flying for a living and when he is flying he isnt Deving, something I thought most people were aware of. As I said work commitments.

Many thanks for that info Alan - it certainly clarifies the situation.

Nice to know that the Guy can see things from both sides, good luck to him.

I thought it had gone quiet - you've still got my beta testing feedback to work on I hope?
