SBS-1 / RadarBox Interface

BSA (BaseStation Analyser)

This product is supplied as an add on to our databases, to provide a link to the Kinetic SBS-1 BaseStation receiver and in the near future the Airnav RadarBox receiver.

What started as a small project (QLU, the forerunner to BSA) gradually grew into a major undertaking as more and more functionality was added, but this needed to be amended to allow the product to be used with other products on the market (for example AirNav's RadarBox). BSA is designed to interface with these products allowing access to data within our databases in a format that will appear on the users screen and allowing direct logging from that interface.

It has now evolved in to a display that 'plugs' in to Kinetic's SBS-1 Mode S Decoder and places a display on or adjacent to the BaseStation screen. This list is sorted by registration and shows the registration, mode_s code, callsign, ICAO code, and a note of whether you have seen this aircraft.

Features

  • Opens from Qplusec (where you enter your password).
  • Does not use the windows clipboard and does not use copy and paste.
  • It does not steal the windows focus (typing in notepad, email etc are uneffected).
  • It shows Hexcode, Reg, type & callsign, all colour-coded to highlight a new frame or paintscrape. The information can be sorted A-Z on each heading
  • Click on any registration gives full details of the aircraft including base and operator.
  • Multiple option menu for listing everything, just military, just civil, excluding light aircraft (gliders etc), or just listing needed frames and/or paintscapes.
  • Versions available for either Kinetic SBS1 or AirNav RadarBox.
  • Auto Compacting - to avoid file size growing.
  • One click logging up - as a frame or paintscrape automatically.
  • Alert sound after detecting a new frame or paintscrape.
  • Basestation.sqb file updating with just Reg, IcaoType, & 'interested' - frame or paintscrape. (Uses BaseStation's 'inverse interested')
  • New BaseStation.sqb population including option to add light aircraft based on regions of the world.

BSA and its RadarBox equivalent will be available by Christmas 2008
