Reconnect the antennae, launch Basestation and check Help->About Basestation to check that it's showing the latest firmware. When the update is complete the DOS/Commands window will close. You may like to save a copy of the current exe before replacing it. To upgrade to Basestation 170 you just need to replace the current Basestation.exe in the appropriate folder. During this time make sure there is continual power for the PC, either mains or via a fully charged battery. The firmware update will commence in a DOS/Command window and will take about 8 minutes to complete. Right click on the firmware file and select "Open With" and then navigate to the firmware uploader. Place the firmware and uploader files in the same folderĥ. Remove all antenna connections from the SBS-3Ĥ.
If you don't have this Firmware Uploader you can download it from the Kinetic Downloads section under the SBS-3 tab.Ģ. "progUSBLattice.exe" or "SBS3FirmwareUploader.exe" This is the uploader file and you may already have this if you've previously updated any SBS-1e(R) or SBS-3 firmware. However, there is a missing file that you will need to upgrade the SBS-3 firmware. You only need to download the Zip file to get all three files at once. There are four downloads from which to choose:Ģ-page PDF "BaseStation 170 Firmware 115.pdf" You will find the required files in the Download area of the Kinetic website under "Beta". This release requires an SBS-3 firmware update as well as upgrading to Basestation version 170. I am sure as this feature develops we may even see county flags and logos start to be incorporated! In all I think this is a great enhancement to the SBS3, I am really impressed with the display frequency column. Is there any addons or future development to be able to use that? At this stage I can't see where that data can be used. Would be nice to have a window showing basic data and the open tab expand to show message content.Īlso a facility to record logs, preferably in a 24 hour period in airmaster format. perhaps a button adjacent to the show all / interested buttons. I would prefer to see the ACARS window as a separate tabbed window rather than a floating window.
Far from scientific, more noticed by eye. Using SDR1 &2 with 131.45 and 131.55 in Melbourne, Australia.Ī rough comparison, running this alongside PlanePlotter ACARS Decoder and ACARSD, there appear to be quicker and more decodes. This is the firmware upgrade I have been waiting for.
