Update! I guess we can put this one to bed. I went to my office and got a windows 7 laptop and the problem doesn't exist with Windows 7. I tried another XP computer and had the same problem, it…Continue

We have started using AeroHive access points at our company "SpawGlass"
I notice with interest your post about putting a wireless router on your Quad and creating a hotspot, the word AeroHive caught my interest.

While I'm not specifically familiar with who may have held licenses to that spectrum previously, the issue here is space-based vs. terrestrial use. The spectrum was licensed for space-based transmissions which (by their nature)…"

I see your point. so what I do not get is that another company had license to some of those frequencies, so what is the value of that license if when operating strictly in the space you have a licence for you are prevented to do so because…"

Well said, that is exactly What LS did. Now the guys who put their money are neither engineers nor users of important service like GPS , all they care about is their money and the much bigger returns , in fact they were fooled by the LS's…"
Dan Banks commented on Richard Evans's blog post The future of GPS"@frederic,
The filtering requirements on GPS receivers were based not on "assumptions" about the adjacent frequency bands, but the fact that these frequencies were reserved for satellite-based transmissions. More selective filtering…"
"I find it hard to be sympathetic to Lightsquared, as their behavior was unacceptably aggressive and dismissive of reality. If they spent a lot of money without doing due diligence on the engineering side, which all indications are so, then…"
frederic reblewski commented on Richard Evans's blog post The future of GPS"in fact it seems that most of the current GPS receivers have been designed assuming that the frequency band next to theirs was free, which lowers the complexity and cost. when lightsquared acquired access to their frequency ( for which they paid a…"

The future of GPS
Posted on April 23, 2013 at 6:30am 10 Comments 3 Likes
Hopefully we have dodged the bullet and this post can be marked up as "paranoia"
Potential threat of GPS disablement! I know this has been an ongoing issue for a while. A company called LightSquared has been trying to build a cellular network that interferes with GPS. You don't hear much in the news about it these days, but it seems that maybe the…
Continue Loitering around in calm air
Posted on March 31, 2013 at 6:30pm 4 Comments 3 Likes
The wind was calmer then it has been in months so I decided to see just how stable the Arducopter (2.5 APM, UBlox GPS) can be with the 2.9.1 code.
I was pleased, I could have hovered until the battery runs down. Also, landing while in Loiter is really smooth, much better than I could do flying in stable mode!. Just had flip the switch back to stable mode once down to finish the flight…
Video Buddy Station

Here is something that I put together that is pretty simple, but nice to have..
I obtained a 9" LCD TV that runs on 12V DC and the idea was to provide a spotter a way to see what I am seeing while flying with my Fatshark goggles.
I use 5.8 GHZ for video and my goggles have a 5.8 GHZ receiver…
Continue Integration of air traffic data?
Posted on February 3, 2013 at 6:00pm 16 Comments 6 Likes
I wonder if it is a practical idea to integrate air traffic data with all the other data we track in the GCS and the OSD. Data seems to be available. I don't see a complete solution in hand but some pieces are there., It looks like there is a growing standard for position reporting (ADS-B) and you can buy a receiver that will allow you to track air traffic in the area. This will only track aircraft that are equipped with ADS-B, but that is in growing numbers and is more…
