On the main ADS-B page, there is a list of other local ADS-B operators. Is there a way to send them private messages?
I run a weather station and send a feed to wunderground.com. Their website has such a feature, and it’s nice to have. I don’t use it often, but sometimes there are local conditions that make communicating with local operators a good thing to have.
In the case of ADS-B receivers, I think it would be nice to have the feature in order to compare setups vs. data. We do, of course, have the forums, but not everyone uses the forums.
… or is there already a way to email or PM another flightaware member?
There is a Private Message system attached to discussions. At the top left of the page click on where it says # new messages to access it. It seems to be rarely used; I don’t know how many use it. At the bottom of the discussion entry are buttons to check the submitter’s profile and to send a PM. I will send one to you after posting this.
Thanks! I’ve been looking for that; didn’t realize it was that well hidden! I’ve been looking for a way to contact local PiAware folks to try out filter/amplifier configurations for improving performance.
Now I can’t see from the mail headers what is wrong, maybe someone else can
