PF Receiver ADS-B LED blinking

[Jose Vazquez]

Today I noticed the ADS-B LED was blinking. The receiver was previously in another place where I couldn't see the status LEDs, but since a unplugged, then re-plugged the antenna cable, I'm not sure if this is an expected behavior or it is indicating a problem?

It turns on when it receives some ADS-B. In a busy area I would expect this to be constantly lit!

Get in touch with support if you have any queries on this. It might be an issue with your system

Thanks @Lee Armstrong! It turns out that Buenos Aires doesn't have many flights these days due to COVID restrictions...

Yes that will do it!

Also you can look at a new feature on the https://planefinder.net/account/receivers web page. Make sure you are logged in!

If you go to the new Coverage Map tab it will show you what we'd expect you able to receive!! (see attached)
