Poll - Basestation Enhancements.

[Anmer]

Over the past 4 years I have compiled a list of nearly 100 enhancements (and some bug fixes) that have been mentioned on the Kinetic Forum.  It will be interesting, and may influence Kinetic, to see which items are preferred.

I have listed 21 items which may have most appeal.  What do you think?

You can vote for 14 items in this list.  If you have other ideas post them here and I'll run another poll.

Who knows, Kinetic may make a note of our preferences.

Nice list!

Maybe some more from here:

• Aircraft list sort on multi columns (maybe option to remember last clicked colums and use those in the sort key 2,3,4 etc)
• Mouse over on aircraft in Radarscreen will show popup with more info
• Save more Lat/Lon info so backwards plotting is possible with reporter

Regards,

Marijn

Thanks Marijn

I've added these to my list and will run a seperate poll for all new ideas in a few weeks time.

A feature I've always wanted is the reverse of "Interested" -- I call it "NotInterested" ... I'd like to be able to mark a record as "don't show this to me" and toggle it to "see all" if I want.

[Anmer]

Thanks.  If the record were so tagged, would you want it (and any others so tagged) to be hidden from view - radar and list -if they were toggled as "Hide"?  I assune they would be visible in Reporter?

What's wrong with using Settings -> Display Settings -> General -> Invert Show Interested ?

Thanks Andrew.

I wish they would just sell the log-amp detectors by themselves.  The rest of the box is too expensive, and too proprietary.  If you could buy the receiver boards for $25 (which would be a huge profit for Kinetic) then you could hook the receiver up to an ATMEL microcontroller and have a good enough hobby device for the masses.

Here's the receiver board cut-off from my SBS-1.  Just throw the SBS-1 away and you have the best part.

I don't have a Kinetics SBS box. But would like to see support from any box for Linux!

[Urania]

Support for Mac OSX
Client + Server architecture support for sharing data
Mysql support
Possibility to generate graphics like Airnav do ...

[Anmer]

Thanks, keep them coming.

I will get back for more information (where I need help) before I produce the second list and poll.

I notice that a lot are voting for "Aircraft Labels to Move to Avoid Conflict on Radar Screen"
That was one of the things which made me go for the ANRB, I just thought that the screenshots
which I looked at were pretty confusing because of all the overlapping.

[simonb6]

I agree Hamish - that was top of my (not very long) list for BS.

[Andy Watts]

Well done Mike. Your commitment to SBS and unwavering help to users is quite remarkable. Thank you.

Andy

PS: No SBS problems of late hence my 'radio silence'!

+ Telnet port 30003 heartbeat
+ Ditch the 5 minute delay - everyone is patching anyway
+ Asterix CAT 21 output
+ configurable UDP output from the box not BS
+ LINUX support (display and just data)
+ Screen grab and upload ftp
+ Google Maps support
+ Server support (share)
+ WiFi built into the box, dump the airband scanner
+ Standalone data program - for those that want data not display
+ Signal strength from the FPGA ?
+ RAW data dump ? Sample and send
+ On screen video scope and decode display
+ Configurable data stream
+ Coasting software (when lost signal)
