Good morning everyone,
I am looking to see if anyone out there is using KG-ACARS ? I have stumbled upon this digital mode quite by accident and so far am enjoying it. Day two actually
I was able to get it up and running using the included english instructions but am looking for a bit more info, possible tweaks, how to get the database manager running that is shown on the page, and some general knowledge regarding its use. I did try using the english instructions there but am running into an issue when attempting to run the exe file for the DBM.
I get back..
Run-time error 339 : Component xLView.ocx or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid.
I currently am running this on a laptop connected to my BCD396T with a 3 element yagi aimed out towards ABIA / AUS on 131.5500. Currently inside and yes I know I will have to get that outside to potentially get better reception, this is just a try and see if I like it kind of thing before commiting to installing an ext antenna. Anyone recomend a good antenna for this use ?
I do get decodes from the planes however compared to the map screen I rarely get the planes info displayed there ?? I have been playing with the scanners volume, leaving the squelch open, and also the volume levels for the laptop as well and am to a point where I am not overloading the software, the nice little red indicator shown as OVR in the top right of the window..
Considering I am seeing the ????? that the others have mentioned I would guess that relates to the missing Japanese language pack, however I was able to locate in the original directory a gif listed as right-click-menu, that is very helpful as it lists the selections in english there.
With a bit of tinkering over the last couple days I have been able to locate a selection, third in from the left along the top bar that allows you to enter the tail number of the aircraft you are getting info from and have noticed that after doing so if I get another hit from that tail number it does popup that menu showing it, so I must be doing something correctly I think ?
Here is a sample of what I am seeing from this morning,, The last one actually caused it to display on the map screen WOOO HOOO !!

Can anyone else decypher the remainder ?

I was under the impression it was usually ALT / TEMP / WIND ??
So any others out there currently using or enjoying ACARS ???
